Alexa Devices Integration - Media player

Configuration Frontend

Hi,

@chemelli

I am using the Alexa devices integration.

  1. How do I show the alexa devices as Echo, flex etc as media player on the dashboard?

action: alexa_devices.send_text_command
data:
  device_id:       
      - DEVICE ID-1
      - DEVICE ID-2
  text_command: Play songs

How to send a commamd to multiple echo devices?

For me the above syntax is not working For a single device it works.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Kindly guide

You don’t, AD does not currently create a media_player entity.

The send_text_command action emulates a voice command, so just like a voice command it can only go to one device. You can however change the command to something like “Play songs in living room and kitchen”.

In the meantime, try this custom integration GitHub - alandtse/alexa_media_player: This is a custom component to allow control of Amazon Alexa devices in Home Assistant using the unofficial Alexa API.
