I’m using several Amazon Echoes in my house and had them talking to me via automations to warn me of weather conditions, open doors and so on. This has been working for months but stopped recently. I didnt change anything to the configuration of the system. The only thing I remember is that my HassOs (RPI4 2GB 32bit) install died due to the v4.8 host update so I had to go back to a working backup a few weeks ago. Did all updates since, everything works fine.
- removed alexa integration, then
- removed alexa media player from HACS, reboots after both actions
- deleted pickle files
- reinstalled everything
The echoes all show up with their media player entities, however shuffle switches, next_reminder sensors and so on are shown as unavailable. If I put the media players in a lovelace card, I cant change i.e. the volume which always worked fine. It doesnt show media being played (like spotify). TTS doesnt work.
The logs are empty. Searching the forums I found some stuff but nothing helped. The only thing I havent tried yet is changing the region url but I remember it asking me once which server to use (I am in Germany). When I tried amazon.de I couldnt get it to install properly, the last install didnt even ask.
I’m helpless here guys. It always worked fine and the only thing I remember is restoring the system after a bad update. What can I do ?
