Alexa Media player tts/notify

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hello,

After I updated hassio, my alexa mediaplayer tts function didn’t work anymore.

Now I installed and updated everything. And when I test it with Developer Tools - Services it works. I select: notify.alexa_media_andy_s_echo_dot. And type at service data:

{
"message":"test",
"data":{"type":"tts"}
}

It works perfect. But when I try to fix it in to an automation, I don’t get it fixed. I tried different ways (also on the site of Alexa mediaplayer), but alexa stays silent. I created a simple automation to test it. Does someone know the right way to let alexa say something in an automation?
