Alexa media player - device not available

Third party integrations
1

Hello,
I couldn’t find any help on this.

I configured Alexa media player as in the instructions. At the end the component was able to find all my echo deviced and related entities.
The problem is that when I try to use them in an automation or script the error is device unavailable.
I’m usind a Cloudflare tunnel for external access.

This is and example of action that I used to test it

action: notify.alexa_media
data:
message: Questo è un messaggio di test
target: media_player.echo_carlo
data:
type: announce
method: speak

Thanks to everybody who can help me

What version of Home Assistant are you on? The Alexa custom integration is not working with the latest version of Home Assistant. We are waiting on an update to the integration.

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/alexa-media-player-not-loading-in-ha-2024-12/805357/2

Edit: The upgrade to 5.0.1 for the Alexa integration is now available.

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Loaded but always not available. Should I remove and add back the integration?

I am assuming you’re using the newest HA and the most recent 5.0.1 Alexa integration?

So when you go to Developer Tools>States and then filter entities by “media_player”, the state of all your Alexa devices are listed as “unavailable”? Are you logging into the integration (amazon credentials) using the gui or are you using your Amazon credentials in configuration.yaml?

If it was me, I would remove the credentials in configuration.yaml if you have them there, then reboot and try to re-add the integration so that it will prompt you for your credentials again along with your 2fa code.

Even if you’re not using configuration.yaml, it might be a good idea to try and re-add so you get the credentials and 2fa prompt again.

If the above doesn’t help, you should probably ask over in the integration’s thread here: Echo Devices (Alexa) as Media Player - Testers Needed - #5748 by Rdoull

and add as an issue on github, here:

Last 5.0.2 (now) and last HA.
State unavailable.
No configuration.yaml

I deleted the configuration and made it again.
Now (for the moment) it works. Lets see if it continues to work.
For deleted I mean I selected delete in the “voices of integration” and this deleted the configuration and all the entities
Thanks

Al
