Fixed in 0.64 
Would be sweet, just reading about home assistant for the first time and this was one of the first things I checked. Have cortana on iOS, My HK Invoke, and laptop so it’s with me everywhere. Was looking at using HA to replace stringify after I read today they got acquired by comcast recently.
After creating cloud account, when trying to sign in, i get ‘Unknown error’
im using hassio 0.63.3 and based in Australia
Hi there,
This may like a silly question but what is the difference between this alexa skill and the emulated hue component? I have been using the emulated hue component for ages and works great, Alexa then discovers my switches or lights automatically. You wouldn’t need both of them would you?

Because this is a proper Alexa Smart Home Skill that will operate other devices as what they are, emulated_hue, for all it’s brilliant simplicity, just pretends to be a bunch of Hue light bulbs.
If that’s all you want/need then stick with it
Agree with Sunonline. A discounted 6month/annual subscription would be great and a lifetime pass (i.e. PlexPass) would be even more awesome!
Should add, there are instances where you may want both of them, for example, you may want the full smart home skill experience with Alexa but a Harmony Hub for instance won’t pick up any devices that way which is where emulated_hue would still have a legit use alongside, although you could also control the devices using emulated_roku instead.
The login page for the alexa skill seems to be case sensitive for the username (email address) It caused me some frustration when my browser capitalized my email address.

Just want to add my thanks. Just found a whole tonne of devices in my Alexa devices list. HomeAssistant has turbo charged my Alexa…Finally getting to that point where I have an intelligence at the heart of my home powered by HomeAssistant
How to use input_number domain?
alexa:
filter:
include_domains:
- input_number
the domain support for alexa:
AVAILABLE DOMAINS
Currently, the following domains are available to be used with Alexa:
alert
automation (enables/disables)
cover
fan (supports on/off and set speed)
group
input_boolean
light
lock (lock and unlock, but unlock is untested as Amazon has disabled unlock for now)
media_player (play, pause, stop, set volume, adjust volume, next track, and previous track)
scene
script (enables/disables)
switchThank you!
I see but i need domain “input_number”.
Great news 
being able to aggregate all devices through HA, rename and change this device class is very powerful.
However looking at Google, do you have any plans to use the voice disambiguation. This would be worth adding more google/replacing Alexa. Being able to ask for my morning routine briefing/script (vs my wife’s). “Turn off MY bedside” light
Hi, any news regarding Home Assistant? Can’t use Google Assistant anymore with emulated hue, Google forced to “update” the home devices saying you need to update first and now it doesn’t work anymore.
Thanks.
Some bugs were found in the Google Assistant integration. The devs have addressed those in the next update (I think), so hopefully it’ll be retested soon.
In the mean time, the Google Assistant component works well.
