Talk to Splunk with Amazon Alexa: Why am I getting error "Can't connect to Splunk REST API with the token..." during setup?

I'm most of the way through the setup of the "Talk to Splunk with Amazon Alexa" App https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3298/ but I still have an error.

The messages I keep seeing are:

09-20-2016 15:36:03.930 -0400 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/alexa/bin/alexa.py" Can't connect to Splunk REST API with the token [omitted], either the token is invalid or SplunkD has exited : Connection reset

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with which https port I have chosen? If I am running Splunk on 443, then I need to put Alexa on a different port. My guess is this issue has something to do with confusion of ports and how the underlying app functions. Anyone have any additional insight into this?

actually only port 443 will currently work as the alexa cloud doesn't allow you to specify a different port
