I am playing with Alexa Actionable Notifications and have the basic flow written and working. What I am struggling with is how to use a sensor value as the entity_id when the flow decides which media_player to use for the call service node. Instead of defining a fixed value for entity_id, I would like to use the sensor.last_alexa entity to determine where a person is responding to the Actionable Notification.

I detect motion in my office, turn on lights, etc and then I ask if I would like to listen to music. When I respond “yes”, I then fire a call service node to play music on media_player.office. Instead of having five different flows to handle each media_player, I would like to pull the data from sensor.last_alexa and present as the entity_id.
sensor.last_alexa is automatically set to the last Echo that had an interaction.
