Is there a way to use this to trigger automations in HA when an Alexa timer expires?
(I can see some possible approaches using the *_next_timer sensor, but that requires some ugly hackage to detect when it changes from anything except unavailable.)
Hi, anyone else has issue trying to play alexa’s sounds ?
Trying to play a simple sound using this example in the dev tools
entity_id: media_player.my_amazon_echo_id
media_content_type: sound
media_content_id: amzn_sfx_doorbell_chime_01
But i keep getting this error:
play_sound() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘extra’
everything else works perfect (spotify, tts, announce … )
Please confirm you’re using version 3.1.2 as this was a bug fixed last night. They added an additional parameter in HA 0.115.4.

hello, I need help
Does anyone manage to get tts work to the mobile app?
Thank you! I was like WTF!?!?!
See if the following thread is helpful:
Is it possible to play Amazon Music Stations? Specifically, I am trying to play the recommended My Soundtrack station, but haven’t had any success
I have this bug with the latest update 3.20, and I don’t know where the error is.

Anyone seeing their “next” sensors not updating after 3.2? My next_alarms are all “unavailable”. Will wait to open issue
Thanks. This should be resolved now.
Confirmed it now works after updating. Thanks!
I am getting stuck when authorizing the final step. I have Approved the Amazon text the first time I click submit. In HA the following never moves on.
Alexa Media Player - Action Required
[email protected] - alexa.amazon.com
Amazon will send a push notification per the below message. Please completely respond before continuing.
To continue, approve the notification sent to:
Mobile number - -**81
Enable 2FA. That login path you’re on is unsupported since I can’t replicate it. You’re welcome to figure out how to get past it and submit a PR and we may support it in the future.
Normally with stations I have been able to get them to work by just adding “Station” to the end, like “Station Name Station”. “My Soundtrack” seems trickier for some reason, but it works for me if I use “The My Soundtrack Station” (at lease in a Routine which should work the same way).
hi all
i want to send by notify the remaining minute from next timer
i understand that i need to create a template sensor - but everything i did get me nowhere
can any one help?
Thank you! Adding the station to the media_content_id seems to have worked
Used Authenticator app on phone and all is well!
Thanks!
I think it would be:
{{ (as_timestamp(states('sensor.echo_next_reminder'))-1*60) | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}
Had the notification that i need to enter my credentials.
Did that and said all ok. But Alexa TTS did not working. Looked at the log and had the following:-

This is just for feedback, do I need to do anything? Why did I need to reboot?
Trying to set this up but I keep getting an error in the log. The devices load, and i can get tts and music control, but what I’m really trying to get is guard control working and the alarm control panel won’t load. I have 2fa on, and am in the U.S. with guard enabled on the mobile app, but keep getting these errors. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
Update - I’m thinking the error is related to reminders recurring weekly that now announce on all devices. This is a new feature that may not be supported and causing issues. Before deleting all these and trying again, any thoughts on if that could be the problem?
