Alexa Media Player Notifications Stopped working

I have a script that is triggered from Alexa that sends media player commands to my Echo Show and one notify service command. It stopped working suddenly and I no longer see my echo devices under the notify service. the command I send is:

When I look at the action in the script in Visual Editor it shows this:

The echo devices all show in Alexa Media Player. Has this ability been removed?

Would reinstalling the Alexa Media Player correct the issue?

Thanks

TTS

actions:
  - data:
      message: Someone at the front door
      data:
        type: tts
    action: notify.alexa_media_living_room_echo

Reloading won’t work. It’s happening to everyone right now. Amazon seems to be broken right now.

Same here.
All actions starting with
notify.alexa_media_
are reported as unknown.

Thanks for the all your replies.

At least I now know it’s not just me.

Same relief here.

Now, anybody got Jeff Bezos’s telephone number?

Same issues here…

Someone already submitted an issue. And like 5000 other people thought it was a good idea to respond with “me too”. Which developers love. The silver lining is that everyone who said me too gets spammed with email by everyone else who said me too. :slight_smile:

So this is all YOUR fault! :slight_smile:

It is not only Alexa Media Player. Home Assistant recently added Alexa Devices integration and that is also not working.

Maybe Amazon noticed all the new logins from HA users since the new integration and it was the straw that broke the camels back and they blocked all HA users somehow.

:wink:

I think I’m only kidding but it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

i complete understand

Media Player 5.7.3 was just released and fixes the problem.

So do we need to uninstall and reinstall? If we do, do we need to set up all of our alexa devices again?

Just do the update to 5.7.3 and all will be fine.

on the last update from AMP do you have temperature sensors?

on my echos with temp its not showing

That’s part of the reason for my question. I am on version 5.2.0 but it is not showing an update to AMP, so how do I update? Sorry if that is a newbie queston. That’s why I asked if I needed to uninstall/reinstall and if I would loose the 12 devices I have set up.

if you dont see the update try going to HACS search for alexa media player → 3 dots redownload this will download the code to the latest

Nevermind my last question. I forgot that was through HACS. I think I got it now. restarting HA and testing now.

Tested and working. Thanks for all the help.
