I'll be at this project on Thursday, I'll document the process and get it to you.

Thanks.  The only option I'm seeing is to disable the skill and then re-enable it.  I know if I do that all my linked Crestron devices will go away and have to be rediscovered.  This will delete all devices from my routines and I'll have to manually fix all that.  But, first I'm going to have to document what devices are triggered in each routine.  What a mess.

If this happens again, I'm going to drop the Crestron skill and just do everything through my Hubitat.  I've never heard of anyone having a problem with the Hubitat Alexa Skill and I already use it for triggering announcements and other actions on Alexa devices.

All that is required is to create a virtual switch on the Hubitat, have the Alexa routine turn the virtual switch on/off and my Crestron Hubitat driver will allow that action to be seen by the Crestron processor.

Thanks again

I don't completely recall, I just dug around until I found a button that re-enabled it. I still don't know what causes it to disable itself, but it has happened several times since then, and the client was able to turn it back on himself. 

If you discover a permanent solution please let us know, thanks.

Thanks Gary!  You are right.  I just played with the skill and now it is
telling me that the Crestron Home Automation skill isn't enabled.  What
process do you use to re-enable it.  I didn't see that as an option in
the Alexa app on my iPad.

Thanks again
