Same here, it appears to be working but my echo is always in standby mode and nothing will wake it up.
Is anyone able to get this to work in New Zealand or Australia ??
THanks
Am I the only one who has broken Alexa integration after upgrade to HA 0.78.0?
I have following in HA logs:

LOL, you haven’t been with us long, have you. LOL

Updated pip and ran sudo pip install lxml==4.2.4 (which failed). Still no joy. Any ideas @keatontaylor?
I can confirm this is working under 0.78 and 0.78.1.
You shouldn’t have to update HA within your docker container. Just pull the latest docker image to update.
Correct, I shouldn’t have too. I did pull the latest image.
Ended up having to delete the alexa.py file, reboot, then place the file back in, reboot and all then worked. Very strange.
Now my logs are just getting filled with this error, one entry per each of the 5 Echos.

Hey i had the same problem it can be fixed if you echo device settings, change to US location and American english and dont put any time zone.
Hmm I can’t not set a time zone and now it says unavailable 
Did you mange to get this working? i have thesame problem! I would like to have an text input somwhere on my HA dash so i can send that text via tts via Alexa. Any ideas on that?
You could do exactly as you’ve stated:
- Create an input_text to use on your front end. This is where you will enter your text.
- Create an automation that uses your input_text state as a trigger, with the automation action calling media_player.alexa_tts
I’ve done something similar with telegram. I type ‘/s’ or ‘/say’ followed by the text that I would like to speak. (ie. ‘/s testing alexa tts’)
Anyone managed to get TTS working in the UK? Or I guess any other non-US region?
As others have said, I don’t get any errors in the log, it just doesn’t work…

My config for that is here:

Look at LoveLace UI config for the front end; looks like this:

I use this puppy daily and found it extremely reliable. Now, if requests are being taken… I’d love to be able to use this as a “whole house broadcast” for; dinner’s ready, tornado warning, etc… little stuff. Kinda like the Alexa Multi-room Music Group.
Add all Alexa devices into a group and set the TTS entity_id to the group entity_id and it should work

This is SO KOOL! It worked! I can now, from the comfort of my desk, tell the clan dinner is ready! Thank you sir.
(Now, on to working with the folks for whole house broadcasting Emergency Weather Warnings… ya know, something useful.

Have you tried restarting HA?
I’ve noticed sometimes it stops working for me, but a quick restart of HA and it’s back up and working. Not sure why it stops - I’ll do some investigation at some point when it fails and I get some time, but it’s certainly not to do with the cookie as on the restart, it comes straight backup without a prompt using the previous cookie.
Hey is it possible to choose language for the TTS?
This would be really nice feature!!
With “”,“locale”:“en-US”, \ ?
