There was a new problem introduced in July 2018 which is a little different than the one that this thread ( which is eight months old) is about.
You can see more about the current issue in the following thread (this is a clickable link)
Howdy yaâll:
Iâve had my harmony hubs (three of them) working via voice control on my Amazon Echos through my SmartThings V2 for at least a year, likely more. As of Tuesday this week Alexa responds immediately âhmm, Iâm having trouble reaching SmartThingsâ but still works fine with switches, bulbs, etc.
I can control the harmony âswitchesâ from the SmartThings app, I can see these as âscenesâ in the Alexa app.
Iâm at a loss⊠my young son canât handle the complexity of the harmony remote, but heâs always been able to just say âAlexa, turn on family room TVâ or âAlexa, Turn on XBoxâ⊠now we have to use the app so the integration is basically useless for us.
I donât even know where to start trying to debug this.
Unfortunately, there is no way to roll back firmware updates.
Since this thread is discussing a problem from several months ago, I suggest instead you look at the thread on the current problem

I thought it was resolved. It is not.

Dear All;
iâm still having the same problem, where Alexa isnât discovering ST new added things
iâve added Aeon Lab z wave switch, and tried to discover it via alexa but no luck, i opened tickets to Alexa support as well as Smartthings. followed many old posts with people facing same issue, but couldnât find posts that showed that this issue was resolved.

in addition to my previous post, will is this case affect the Leak Gopher zwave smart valve as well? or this type of things arenât discovered by default?
thank you

finally, got it to work, only by removing and adding skills on both ST and Alexa. took several times, but once it all reset it worked
