KeyError: 'ubid-main'
The component doesn’t start properly and nothing happens (no captcha).
I was able to get the captcha by using url: amazon.com and component to load correctly (and the error above didn’t appear in the log) but the player stays unavailable and does nothing.
Was anyone able to get it working for url: amazon.co.uk ? Am I doing anything wrong?
Using this in the UK so amazon.co.uk without issue
Had a bit off trouble setting up as amazon use 2FA - so after putting the the captcha response it then comes back and asks for your confirmation code that amazon send to your mobile - once done it then seems to be working
This is mainly bug fixes for websockets. We’ve implemented fixes from other Alexa libraries which should give us more regions, but please let us know if it’s still causing errors for you.
Fixes:
Fix bug where polling would not resume after websocket failure (resolves #128)
As always, please use the the Wiki and FAQ if you need instructions or have questions. Also, please help in documenting features in the wiki since this thread is basically unsearchable now. We also use GitHub for bug reports/feature requests .
This is a known bug resolved in 1.2.3. However, the error actually wouldn’t impact your ability to use the component assuming your’e able to log in. If you’re in the UK region, you need to use the amazon.co.uk server; using the US region will result in the devices being unavailable. If you enable logs, it should tell you what the error is. You may have to enable 2FA in Amazon.co.uk.
By default the scan interval is 60 seconds. However, when we know a Alexa is playing music, it drops it down to 20 seconds. We added websockets in 1.2.x which should make it nearly instantaneous and the scan interval isn’t used except to discover new devices.
I think it applies to both groups and multiroom groups.
I tried it and was able to add multiple alexa devices in a multiroom group. It than shows this group as a new media player.
However, using announce in that group (a 2. gen and a 3. gen echo dot) played the message asynchronous. Same as listing both devices in that service.
I’ don’t mind that’s it is asynchrone, but wanted to note it here, that for me it didn’t make a differende, if I put them in a group or use them in a list.
I followed the installation instructions , i can see my echo mediaplayer , i ran a script where i can set the volume , even the media_player.alexa_tts worked as json , but in my yaml files the only thing working is set the volume , no notify , no tts , no routines… Help needed…
Sorry if i am posting here the wrong way… Still very new at this home assistant and this forum…
How should i format my code correctly ?
I changed the target and the entity_id: to my echo dot 's name , as like i can see in home assistant , but no succes…
she only seems to react to set the volume , nothing else she does , the code from the link doesnt work neither , i see the script , i start it , but nothing happends
{
“entity_id”: “media_player.ginosechodot”,
“message”: “Test message”
}
if i start this json with the media_player.alexa_tts she speaks… so i guess she is connected the wright way or not ?
