I previously linked my Mini-8 with Alexa from my FireStick and was able to control the Mini-8 without any issues.  I have since disconnected the Firestick and am using a Echo Dot (3rd gen).  In the Alexa app, the Rainmachine skils don't show up, but it does show that it is linked.  Have tried un-linking, then re-linking several times, but skills still don't show up.  All devices are up and running and connected to the same 2.4Ghz network.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi, Fred
  If you go to Skills & Games and then tap/click on the Your Skills button you should see the RainMachine Amazon Alexa Skill listed. 

  As you said, you used it before with the FireStick, then you know how to enter the skill by saying:
  "Alexa, open rain machine"
  and then ask Alexa to start/stop a zone or a program.
  Just checked this on our side and it works without issues on our Echo Dot and Amazon Alexa iOS app.
  
  Hope this helps, Fred
  Thank you,
  RainMachine Support

  Thanks, I do now see the RM skill when I look under Skills and Games section, but shouldn't it appear under the "Your Smart Home Skills" section as well?

  Hi, Fred
  For now, RainMachine Amazon Alexa Skill is not listed as Smart Home Skill. We are working on that.
  Also, currently, Amazon Alexa do not have a “Irrigation Systems” category under smart home devices/skills.

  Thank you for your understanding, Fred
