Alexa should announce the weather via automation

Configuration

Hi there,
How can I get Alexa to announce the weather via automation?
It doesn’t work like this:

service: notify.alexa_media_torstens_echo_dot
data:
  message: alexa.weather.play
  data:
    type: tts

Does somebody has any idea?

Greetings Werner

service: media_player.play_media
data:
  media_content_id: Alexa.Weather.Play
  media_content_type: sequence
target:
  entity_id: media_player.torstens_echo_dot

Many Thanks.
I’m not at home right now, but will test it tonight. I’m sure it works.
I only found the “Alexa.Weather.Play” command by searching here.

Is there a list of possible commands?

For example “Tell a joke”.

Thank you very much.

Greetings Werner
