core: Alexa Blinds no longer respond

The problem

Since the last reboot/update (27.7.2023 last sucessful use) the Alexa Smart Speaker is no longer able to use the Blinds in Hass.

When ever I tell Alexa to open the blinds or any command for blinds I get the standard response the device cant do that. If i use the alexa to turn on zigbe2mqtt bound lights, it works. And even when I go inside the Alexa app and go to the device I can turn on of the lights but when I go to the blinds I just get a brief waiting for home assistant, and then I get a blank page.

Lights work OK. Locks also (all on same Zigbee)… Everything except blinds is working OK.

I am using the zigbee2mqtt extension** with those blinds since 3 years now without problems. https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/MS-108ZR.html#moes-ms-108zr

I am not sure if zigbee2mqtt is the problem. The MQTT or the Alexa integration.

But because the lights which work are also on zigbe2mqtt, I’m guessing Alexa communication is somehow broken.
