Alexa to control scenes w/ Nabu Casa config question

Configuration
1

Hi Folks,
I have a Harmony Elite with Hub and love it. What I was hoping I could do was to create a script in Node-Red that links to the Harmony and is voice controlled through my Nabu Casa subscription.
All I want is a 3, 4 and 5 minute skip forward. The command SkipForward does 30 second increments, which means watching some shows you have to press it 10 times consecutively to work with my DirecTV Genie DVR. It displays on the TV a progress bar as a countdown.
I have successfully created the 3 min, 4 min & 5 min flows in Node-Red, created matching scripts in HA, as per instructions from @mbonani and have created a button card in Lovelace to activate the 3 flows.
I thought I could create a routine in Alexa and just say “Alexa, 3 minutes” and it would work but Alexa is not working. The script is recognized in Alexa and it allows me to add it to a routine but when I click the trigger to play the event, nothing at all happens.
I get the following error in the log BUT it works when I press the button in the Lovelace interface:

Logger: homeassistant.helpers.service

  • Unable to find referenced entities script.3_minutes
  • Unable to find referenced entities script.5_minutes
  • Unable to find referenced entities script.4_minutes

My scripts.yaml are:

'1590432123160':
  alias: 3_minutes
  sequence:
'1590433237263':
  alias: 4_minutes
  sequence:
'1590433256938':
  alias: 5_minutes
  sequence:

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong please?
Thank you in advance and thanks to @frenck for the awesome Nabu Casa integration!!

Check developer tools > states for the actual entity IDs of those scripts. Based on what you have there they should be script.1590432123160, script.1590433237263, and script.1590433256938

They are in fact there as you mention. And when I reference them in Lovelace they are in fact pointed at script.1590432123160 for example, and not the alias 3_minutes. The problem is some times they work with Alexa and some times they don’t. I am beginning to think this is the Alexa Harmony skill. Many reviewers complain about its reliability, even though all 3 routines are set up the same way.
Thanks for replying :pray:
