I thought I would provide some info of my most recent relogin experience. I tried the google spreadsheet, but thought I could add more information here instead. Today I upgraded HA to latest and followed up by upgrading Alexa Media Player to latest (3.3.0). A couple of hours later (perhaps by coincidence from the upgrade, not sure), got the following Log:

I also received the following two notifications:
At least one of your integrations requires reconfiguration to continue functioning. Check it out.
and
Alexa Media Reauthentication Required
Reauthenticate on the Integrations page. Relogin required after 2:30:17.495143 and 19 api calls.
The Reauth itself went as usual, had to do it a couple of times to take. My only nit feedback for this, is when successful you get Aborted (along with Alexa Media Player successfully reauthenticated.) When I see Aborted I at first think something went wrong, but finish reading the rest of the message which makes me
Again, thanks for your work on this!!!
EDIT: I meant to add that the scan_interval is the default; using .com domain; using auth app; and it has been oh around 3-4 weeks since the last re-auth.
That’s coming from HA. I have no control on that and I have submitted feedback that it’s misleading. With 3.3.0 if you also set up the Built-in 2FA app it should be able to auto relogin assuming there isn’t a captcha
I had to reauth today and got this error.
It’s just for info, the reauth worked in the end even I had to enter the captcha 4 times.
It’s version 3.3.0

Expose this to alexa.
In alexa I created a routine “Alexa, what is the temperature inside” and added this script.
this is awesome, thanks for sharing! is there a way to make this more dynamic, where you can ask for the temp of different rooms in the house? or do you need to setup a script per room?
Up to now it is necessary to set up a script per room.
I wrote the complete management of home control in scripts anyway and exposed them to alexa.
Only some input_boolean entities and two spotlights are known to alexa.
That looks then like
scritpt.command_light_on
script.command.light_brightness_up
and so on
That is more comfortable in my point of view and gives more control about the behavior of the devices.
I use a Dummy Bulb exposed to Alexa . Then I only need 1 device in Alexa to trigger 99 events ( use the bulb brghtness levels) . It keeps Alexa Interface clean as I use the mobile alexa app to control HA outside the house
I must admit … much more elegant architecture even I would not use the alexa app to control the home.
The routines are not very user friendly to manage and talking to alexa in the train or office is not my favorite
But anyway not much work to change for me, I only need one controlling script.
Thanks
No not for automation . I use the alexa app when remote , to turn on lights, heating etc. The app is simple with nice large icons and you don’t have to open any ports to HA. I use the cloud integration to push all my HA devices to Alexa
You can use the app without having to talk to alexa, to turn devices on or off , or change temperature, etc , can you image the looks on the train, shouting down the phone
I got most working Thanks. Just want to know if the sensor value can be rounded to whole numbers?
