Are you able to make it work, In which part you are having issues?

Hi,

I’m trying to set this up following the Guide in the first post.
This is my first AWS contact, so bear with me.

I selected “alexa-skills-kit-color-expert” and got to this point, but there’s no “Alexa Skills Kit” available in the dropdown menu. I only get those:

API Gateway
AWS IoT
CloudFront
CloudWatch Events - Schedule
CloudWatch Logs
CodeCommit
Cognito Sync Trigger
DynamoDB
Kinesis
S3
SNS

Did I select something wrong at one point? Or which one do I chose?

TIA,
Sebastian

EDIT: I figured it out. Apparently Alexa Skills Kit is not available in every data center.

I saw above how to do this with https. Not sure if it’s so people can stay on 8123 but set the above code to 443 so Amazon will accept it. That said, the instructions do not seem to flow with the current environment at Amazon. Anyone know an updated way to implement this?

Also looks like this uses an API password method which I understand isn’t supported anymore.
