Can you please elaborate a bit? What do you mean by this? I don’t have any routines…
@alandtse Just a heads up the new Beta has broken something

Question surrounding “Run Custom Command.” I am wanting to have a skill execute “ask white noise to play box fan for ten hours” but I am unsure how to execute this in NodeRed using JSON. Any examples someone could share?
@keatontaylor I don’t know it’s up to you, but i would like to ask the creator of Alexa Media Player to rename the translation files properly. The correct one for the Brazilian Portuguese translation to be applied is pt-BR, not pt_BR as it is in the component. The correct one for the Portuguese version of Portugal is just pt and not pt_PT as it is in the component.
With the renamed file the translation is applied.
Thanks for listening.

@flyize did you try @Didgeridrew suggestion:
###configuration.yaml
template:
- sensor:
- name: last_alexa
state: >
{{ expand('group.echos') | selectattr('attributes.last_called','eq',True) | map(attribute='entity_id') | first }}
availability: >
{{ expand('group.echos') | selectattr('attributes.last_called','eq', True) | first is defined }}
regarding the issue?
Template variable warning: No first item, sequence was empty. when rendering '{{ expand('group.echos') | selectattr('attributes.last_called','eq',True) | map(attribute='entity_id') | first }}'
thx
Hi Guys,
I am trying to integrate my HomeAssistant with Google Home speaker and Amazon Echo Dot. My current automation works correctly and plays through the google home speaker when requested in Home Assistant.
But when I added the Echo dot to this automation it doesn’t play on that device. I tried tts but it says “sorry, I’m having trouble connecting to your Simon says EU skill right now”
alias: Asr Azan
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
seconds: '30'
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ now().time().strftime("%H:%M") == states.sensor.asr.state }}'
action:
- service: media_player.volume_set
data:
volume_level: '1'
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_speaker
device_id: media_player.bedroomspeaker
- service: media_player.play_media
data:
media_content_id: https://www.islamcan.com/audio/adhan/azan3.mp3
media_content_type: audio/mp3
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_speaker
device_id: media_player.bedroomspeaker
Hi, I never worked with mixed devices but imo it can not work when you use entity_id and device_id in one service call.
I would split the service call in one for the google and a second for the echo.
The echos have to be addressed with entity_id, media_content_id and media_conten_type.
But are you shure that you have to use device_id for the googles?
Maybe it works like this:
target:
entity_id:
- speaker 1
- speaker 2
This doesn’t work with Alexa. You can try to find a skill and create a routine in your Alexa app. This routine can be triggered by using play_media.
I’m pretty sure I did. I can confirm that mine works now.

I’ve updated the Wiki to include availability for the Last Alexa sensor so it’s easier to find, as everyone will surely be experiencing this error. I certainly was. Thanks for the solution.

Thanks guys for the confirmation and updating the wiki!
Is there a way to have TTS for the media_player.everywhere group? I mainly use mini media player to send messages to individual dots. But I’d like to be able to type a message and have it send to the every group. I tried my normal way in mini media player but it didn’t send to any of them.
Is there a better way? It doesn’t have to use mini media player. Just a Lovelace item that I can type in, and have it send to all echoes.
Thanks.
Is there a way I can setup a Lovelace item so myself or my wife can type something into a field?
This is what I set up… it requires a couple custom cards from HACS, but it has worked well for me.
All the related scripts and stuff
An easier option to set up is to use the mini-media-player custom card, but you need one for each echo device you want to use.
type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.kitchen_dot
tts:
platform: alexa
data:
target: media_player.kitchen_dot
message: text
data:
type: tts

This is perfect. Thanks. I currently use mini-media-player but just want that ability for everywhere. Thanks again.
Input_text?
This is exactly what I want. I feel I am so close. I have the selector, and I have the helpers, and created the scripts. But nothing happens when I type in my announcement and say announce it.
If needed I can post all my edits.
