Ha, I fixed it. Everything was fine. However, the instructions are not very clear. The z-way server will only include devices which you manually tell to enable with the alexa app. So I wasn't actually including any devices to be associated with alexa, as I didn't know it was required.
After selecting the check-box "lb_activate_alexa" in the devices I wanted to be discovered by alexa from inside the z-way server, it's now working correctly.
Phew!

Can you take a screenshot of this setting? I can't find this setting in my Smarthome.

I have uninstalled Alexa in my iOS phone. I installed Amazon Alexa, but that doesn't work. All I tried was to reboot my Ios device. Do you have any Ios device key to run the applications?

Well that's an issue isn't it

Yes there is a way to change the Server.
This should be built into the 'Remote access' application. to check for a valid server.


Server says it is offline, but still is open for new connections :(.
So far I have had to block the offending ip address on my router.
Then it connects to a working server.
As mentioned previously in this topic 6 months ago. on 16 Jul 2018 21:46

Disabling/Enabling 'Remote Access' App will force a new attempt to connect.

login via telnet, sudo netstat -natlpe | egrep -i ssh and it will show what server you are connected to.
my connection shows 46.20.244.72:22 a working server. yippee
I checked today, a week later. Switzerland2 is still in failure.

Servers:-
Remote Server 1 Switzerland 46.20.244.72:22
Remote Server 2 Switzerland 185.25.224.111:22 (Failing)
Remote Server 3 Germany 78.46.43.211:22

I don't change everything and then it's working without a problem. Today... It's failing again and this completely looks like no valid SSL cert. Status Page doesn't work zwave.de or a bad configured server... How ever... Alexa doesn't respond again.

Alexa is showing is some problems with the Ios devices as even some apps like Amazon Prime or Netflix is not working properly. I tried to work out with many apps https://showbox.expert/ but they are not working. They are saying that your device is updating but after updation, my all apps are crashed and phone get hanged up
