Heroku problem

Good day Mr. Nassir,
I wanted to try the way like you have done with Sonoff switch and Alexa but I am not success. And seems to be this is because of Heroku. First fail was because of Python. Heroku was telling me that app is using old unsuported Python. Then I cloned your repository on github to fix that and tried launch app on Heroku once again. Generaly it looks OK but my sonof refuses to connect:
Current humidity = 50.00% temperature = 22.00C 71.60F
Disconnected!
Connecting...
Current humidity = 50.00% temperature = 22.00C 71.60F
Disconnected!
Connecting...
Disconnected!
Connecting...
Current humidity = 49.00% temperature = 23.00C 73.40F
Current humidity = 48.00% temperature = 23.00C 73.40F
Disconnected!
Connecting...
Current humidity = 49.00% temperature = 22.00C 71.60F
Disconnected!
Connecting...
And that is forever.
My setting in sketch:
char host[] = "smartempswitch.herokuapp.com// "; //- better your Heroku domain name like "smarttempswitch.herokuapp.com"
Might be you have some thoughts about that.
Thank you.

Heroku didn't accept the code

hi, i'm trying to make this project, but in Heroku show this message:

can u help me??

Issues with skill in English (US)

I done everything, but during certification appears the following issues:
Issues with skill in English (US)
The skill does not respond to one or more launch requests from Alexa. Please note that the skill should handle all launch requests from Alexa gracefully without an error response from the endpoint.

The skill must respond without error when the example phrases associated with the skill are used. One or more of the example phrases returned an error response when tested. Please make sure that the example phrases do not provide users with error responses

Something not working

Hey,
I wanted to try it out, but something is not working how it should be. When I try to create an Heroku app it tells me this :

-----> Python app detected
! The latest version of Python 3 is python-3.6.3 (you are using python-3.6.1, which is unsupported).
! We recommend upgrading by specifying the latest version (python-3.6.3).
Learn More: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-runtimes
-----> Installing python-3.6.1

But in the Code, I wrote it like so, so it should be ok?

char host[] = "smarthomesensor.herokuapp.com";

And when I then run the code it just gives me this :

Disconnected!
Connecting...
Disconnected!
Connecting...
Disconnected!
Connecting...
Disconnected!
Connecting...

And when I try it with Alexa, she keeps saying that there is something wrong with the Answer of the Skill.
I would really appreciate if you could help me.

I just saw that the Amazon Consol tells me an HTTP Error ("HTTP 503 : Service Unavailable") so does that mean there is something wrong with Heroku ?
