Alexa Media Player Integration not working?

Configuration
1

Hi anyone else having issues with the Alexa Media Player integration?
this morning I noticed in my HA asking to Configure it, but when I clicked nothing hapened, so I tried to remove the integation and add it again and nothing is happening… so wondering if Amazon closed something or just me?

Thanks for the help.

Humm seems after a reinstall of the integration and a restart of HA I was able to add the inegration back…

I restarted I put 2 factor authentication but it doesn’t work anything happens on the alexa media player screen

4

I’m back at having issues again :frowning:
Tried to remove the integration and add again, and it just keep asking for the captcha, then the code sent by amazon and never gets out of there :frowning:

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Currently I don’t know anymore :frowning: I’ve reeinstalled the integration and it connected without issues but when I look at the list of devices:

So I’m gonna go with nothing is working :frowning: unfortunately and no disrespect to the developers of the plugin, it has become unusable to me for quite some time now :frowning:

I have the same problem with the configuration screen of the integration, I receive unknow error after enter my login information. It was since 2 or 3 days ago.

Any solution?

similar - can’t see any of the echo dots in HA. Trying tts/message but doesn’t work.

El mismo problema que vosotros,me reconoce los dispositivos pero no funcionan,ya llevamos muchos días así

Same problem here. Reinstalling the integration brought back the devices without issues but they don‘t work for any TTS or announce. Any help?

Same for me. Uninstalled and re-installed, worked for a day, then stopped working again. Now it won’t configure (no error message, just doesn’t save)

I´m having the same issue. I´m currently trying to uninstall and install again but so far no luck

13

Same for me.

are you reentering the captcha? Every few days/weeks you have to enter this information if the authentication(Not sure if this is the correct word) is old. Check your notifications and enter the proper information to the captcha.

Thanks Petro. I have fixed it by following these steps:

I struggled quite a while too. made it work by making sure that the Alexa-domain you logon to in Home Assistant is the same as the domain you see when logging in to alexa from a browser.
In my case I had alexa.com in HA and alexa.co.uk in browser.
Putting it to Alexa.co.uk in HA did the trick. Now it works.

To make it work for me, I found:

  • you need the 2FA turned on your amazon account
  • text message based 2FA didn’t work for me, added an Authenticator App to my Amazon account and it sailed through

Every so often you have to re-authenticate. So far using an Authenticator app its not failed me…

I wasn’t sure what value those entities offered me and I couldn’t find a reason to use them, so the fact they weren’t available wasn’t something I worried about. Disabled them to clean the view up and still had access to push TTS message to the Alexa device etc.

Would be interested to hear if you have a use case for them, perhaps its something I should investigate (one day!)

I successfully did the 2FA authentication and it works but when i restart the Home Assistant the Alexa media players are not available. Then I need to uninstall it and then reinstall it. I don’t think that’s normal.
How could I do this without always having to reinstall it?

I have the same problem: I’m running hassio on rpi4. Every time it restarts I have to reconfigure Alexa Media Player.
