Alexa Media Playback Issue

[Blugreen]

Hi. I am new to HA.

I have some Alexa Echo 5 Gen 1 units around the house. I have added them to HA as devices using the Amazon Login etc.

When I try to add an Automation they won’t play the audio that I have selected (10 second MP3 to be used as a door bell chime). If I select another Media Player device it works. Just seems to be an issue with Alexa.

If I go to the Media Menu on the left then to the My Media folder (where the file is located). There are NO Alexa units selectable in the Media Player selector on the bottom right of the page.

Any help would be amazing as I am about to throw the computer out the window…hahaha

I have the same issue with all my Alexa devices nor working in HA. I have Alexa Media Player as well as the Alexa Devices Integrations.

I don’t think that maintenance message they have on the API has any relation to what’s not working at the moment. That message has been there for years and confirmed this with the Wayback Machine earlier.
