I’m running the Emulated Hue Bridge component in my Home Assistant setup and thinking about switching go the “Alexa / Amazon Echo” Component to have more possibilities. Someone knows whether it works with other languages than english (e.g. german)? I figured out, that the “Alexa / Amazon Echo” Component requires a haaska installation, is that right? There is no word about haaska in the component description of Home Assistant.
if you read the component page from Alexa/Amazon echo, you see 2 ways:
- with emulated hue like you have now
- with intents.
intents gives you more options, but you Always have to use sentences like “Alexa ask homeassistant to”
the haaska way is not mentioned there and is simular to emulated hue.

Rene is right but just to clarify, you can set any invocation name you like. Mine is named Mother (after the ship’s computer in the Alien movies), so I call it with “Alexa, ask Mother to activate ”.

ok I understand! So haaska has nothing to do with the two options. Thanks for your explanation
