Guide] Music Assistant → Alexa integration without Docker (HA add-on + AWS Lambda)
Hey everyone,
I put together a step-by-step guide to integrate Music Assistant with Amazon Echo devices, without any Docker container, using:
The timlaing/music-assistant-alexa-api Home Assistant add-on (replaces the Docker relay)
A free AWS Lambda function (Python / ASK SDK) as the Alexa Skill handler
A Cloudflare tunnel to expose everything securely over HTTPS
The whole setup runs natively inside Home Assistant OS — no extra server, no Docker, no Proxmox LXC needed.
What's included in the repo:
Full step-by-step guide (README)
Ready-to-use Lambda function (lambda_function.py)
Alexa Interaction Model for English and French
Home Assistant automation to auto-reload the Skill when Music Assistant changes track

Tested on Home Assistant OS with Echo Dot Gen3/Gen4 and Echo Show. Feedback welcome!
