Alexa Media Player notifications

I’ve added the Alexa media player all the devices have been added and using developer tools I can send a notification to my phone with tts but am getting nothing from the Alexa device. Any idea what I’m doing wrong.
Thanks

HI CPFC,

Possibly external_URL or generally access from the outside. Google Homes and other TTS cloudy things need that so this provably does as well.
Try a search.

you didn’t really give us much info on what you’ve tried.

“it doesn’t work” isn’t much to go on.

Ok, I have added the integration and all the devices are showing correctly so guessing that’s ok. I used developer tools to test everything’s working. First I tried sending a notification to my phone by selecting the notification entity for my phone adding a message and selecting Data type: tts which worked but when I do the same with any of my Alexa devices I get the green tick but nothing from the device. All of the entities are listed as unavailable in the integration but I’ve read that’s normal ?

No that’s not normal

all the media player entities should all at least show as ‘standby’
