ive installed the alexa media player from HACS, I think i ave it set up correctly however all the echo devices that have added are grayed out and say unavailable. anyone know what i’ve done… ive been trying to install a few things from HACS and appear to hit a silly point on every one… last one was formatting to I checked that this time about 6 times… checked my codes and username… all should be correct… here is what i have…
like I said I installed it from HACS and included this in my configuration.yaml
# Alexa media player set up
alexa_media:
accounts:
- email: !secret amazon_user
password: !secret amazon_password
url: amazon.com
went to integrations and configured the alexa media player
i now have several entities marked media_player.various_echo_devices and my echos are showing up as
I’m guessing the problem isn’t with the add on so only other place is with a setting in the echo account, I’ve gone through it several times and can’t find anything…
for anyone else who has the same problem, the solution I have found is this
# Alexa media player set up
alexa_media:
accounts:
- email: !secret amazon_user
password: !secret amazon_password
url: "amazon.co.uk"
as i am in the UK the URL has changed from amazon.com to “amazon.co.uk” also make sure that in the secrets file nothing is in " so the secrets should be something like this
Do you have the correct address for your amazon account? That was my problem… the documentation was for the US so the amazon account was .com, however as I am in the UK my account should have been .Co.uk
If you search amazon for shopping what address do you use?
