Action notify.alexa_media disappeared after 2025.11.3 update

Third party integrations
1

In my automations I use the action notify.alexa_media and here is the yaml:

action: notify.alexa_media
    data:
      message: Alarm Disarmed
    target:
      - media_player.xxxxxxx
      - media_player.xxxxxxx
      - media_player.xxxxxxx
      - media_player.xxxxxxx
      - media_player.xxxxxxx
    data:
      type: announce

xxxxxxx = device name

After the update I no longer see in Actions: notify.alexa_media

Tried an integration reload, reconfigure, cleared frontend, and rebooted Home Assistant - no help.

This happened last month and I believe it was deemed that an API change occurred but there was an API login error which I do not see this time.

Did 2025.11.3 break notify.media_player?

Hi,

No, 2025.11.3 did not break the notify.alexa_media actions.

Try to remove the integration in HA and HACS then reboot HA and re-install.

No, most likely Amazon broke it with their recent API changes.

Had the same issue yesterday. Updated Alexa Media Player integration and had to reauthenticate & now notify.alexa_media is no longer missing.

EDIT: Just to clarify. I still haven’t updated to 2025.11, so it’s definitely not the cause of your issue.

I believe I did what you suggested; however, I have Alexia Media Integration listed under Integrations, but no devices are listed.

  1. deleted Alexia integration
  2. removed HACS Alexa
  3. restarted HA
  4. searched HACS for Alexa and downloaded
  5. HACS Alexa download required a restart
  6. added Alexa integration
  7. required 2 step auth. which completed successfully

I have just the Integration line and no devices underneath it
.
Tried integration reload and a HA reboot, no help.

Suggestions?

Sorry, failed to note I am using the Nabu Casa method of authentication for Alexa. I receive a code to my mobile and I input on the screen under my login for already existing account.

Screen shows connection and completion with Alexia.

Then I get the one line for Integration but no devices and still no notify.alexia_media in actions.

Hi, Found the solution under thread: Error communicating with API: object of type NoneType has no len()#3137

I checked the log and saw the same NoneType has no len() error.

Ran the lines provided as instructed in Terminal and the Alexa devices are now listed.

Thanks!

Hi, good for you!

I think the provided work-a-round is not a blueprint (Allround solution) for this issue because I see this error too in my logs but do not have the issues you discripted.

Many thanks for this pointer!

I updated the 2 lines referenced here, and my Alexa Media Player integration now works fine, after restarting HA.

HA version: 2025.11.3
AMP version: 5.7.11
