Thanks Guys but

- platform: alexa
email: “[email protected]”
password: “my.password”
url: “alexa.amazon.co.uk”
Still does not work
You still are using the incorrect quotation marks. Either use " quotation marks (they do not curl) or remove them.

Oh sorry I thought your comment was in relation to the incorrectly formatted response form mistrovly!
Will remove quotes and try again.
I only have " ’ as quotes on my mac
if you use a text only editor it should automatically use the correct quotation marks by default. If you use a rich text editor then you don’t know which you will get.
hello.
can someone confirm, this works after upgrade ha to 0.85 (and 0.85.1)?
I use the editor in configuratror in hassio. Worked for all other quotes!
without quotes still no difference.
Hello everyone, so i’ve been using this addon for almost a month and everything was working fine until i updated to the latest version. Now i’m getting connection errors
Config entry:
- platform: alexa
email: !secret amazon_email
password: !secret amazon_password
url: “https://alexa.amazon.com” (i’ve also tried amazon.com and https://amazon.com both with and without quotes)
Error Log: https://hastebin.com/rufevevayi.sql
@knackrack615
Change the url to:
url: amazon.com
Your logs are complaining the domain isn’t resolving and urllib is giving connection pool errors. You may need to reboot.
@auditdata
Change yours to.:
url: amazon.co.ukStill no joy with url: amazon.co.uk.
This is the log? Any clues

your log shows that your mediaplayers are created and active.
I use amazon japan and have no issues…works perfectly. My yaml:
media_player:
- platform: alexa
email: !secret alexa_un
password: !secret alexa_pw
url: amazon.co.jpare you not getting a notification to enter a captcha code?
Hi,
It seems to be just an issue of time. When I went to check that there were definately no media players in the current entities, low and behold they are now there. All 5 of my Amazon Alexa devices! Sweet. Now to try Text to speech…
My config for interest.
media_player:
- platform: alexa
email: !secret amazon_login
password: !secret amazon_password
url: "amazon.co.uk"
Thanks for all your help. Time seems to have fixed it!

Hello, after changing my URL to amazon.com as suggested by @alandtse i’m now getting the following
