I'd like to apologize again for how long this is taking. It really is such a simple thing. Amazon has had one issue after another on their side to simply open up the skill for multiple regions. They assure me they are looking into it and the moment I am able to confirm the issue is resolved we will submit the skill for final approval and they should be able to approve it within a day.
There is absolutely no difference in the code/skill functions whatsoever. It's all in the way amazon lets the skill be available to each region. So why it needs to even get re-approved is even more frustrating.
I previously had a US account a long time ago but was forced to convert to a Canadian account when I subscribed to Prime. I could create a second account with a different e-mail but would like to avoid that. At this point it is more of a matter of principle for me. I find Amazon and Google tend to lag in disseminating updates up here; forcing me to use US English to gain access to updates. Also, I have found US English Google has trouble understanding certain words, usually of French origin, and that combined with the lack of 'U's prevents me from making the change.
@coreylista Thanks for the update, I appreciate all the hard work you and the Hubitat team are putting into this. In the mean time is there any way I could side load the Echo App or am I stuck waiting for the Skill to come out?
I used to do that, but sadly my son plays music all the time which is connected to Prime But thank you @SmartHomePrimer for the suggestion, and @coreylista for the update
@bobbyD said this is a bug that should have been fixed. However I continually see this error in the logs.
It coincides with vlcthing functions, refresh, tts all will throw this error. I was just hoping someone out there may have some idea what call VLC thing is doing that is interfering with the alexa app in hubitat?
Can you go into the Alexa app and disable the skill, then re-enable it? You will be asked to login and authorize your hub and devices again. Don't change anything, just click Authorize. Then run a discovery. Don't delete the app or change any devices. This should just reset the token that Alexa uses to sync changes.
This shouldn't double up devices or make any major changes. It should simply re-authenticate you with Alexa.
Hi, disabling and reauthorizing the skill then rediscovering devices results in the same error.
I have also completed deleted the alexa skill app in hubitat, disabled the skill, deleted ALL alexa devices. Started from scratch, reintalled app, relinked the skill and authorized the devices, had alexa discover everything again, with end result being this same error.
Amazon is currently getting crushed by their own Prime Day sales... so I’m not even able to use the Alexa app myself. Once they recover I’ll dig back into this issue.
Can you send me a screenshot of all the events the Alexa Skill is subscribed to? It seems like there might be a device that's constantly trying to send an event to Alexa. You can send it via PM.
It seems this Topic is a little bit old, neverthless I'll try again in order to solve my problem.
I'm in Italy. I've got a brand new C5 HE. I installed Alexa app in HE (no skill yet available for Italy), I created a switch (only device in HE). I exposed the swith to alexa as in the following picture. I cannot let Alexa be aware (discover) of the switch. I tried it by voice, by app by pc (alexa.amazon.it).
What is wrong? When skill will be available (if ever…).
A massive amount of information on the subject in this thread. Here's a particular post from @patrick that may help resolve the issue. In the past, before the Skill was available, I had to reset my Echo to get it to work.
I have not read all your posts but you indicated there is no Italian skill yet for Hubitat for Alexa. I believe you have to install the Alexa skill on Amazon and link your hubitat account for discovery to work. This happened on mine due to initial account setup was incorrect on Hubitat and could not link accounts. Discovery couldn't work. Hopefully an Italian Alexa skill gets released for you.
As far as I've understood, when hubitat skill is not available for a certain language (I have the italian Alexa version) you have to use the Alexa app in HE, with a limited range of features (mainly on/off). Alexa should be able to find the virtual switches exposed by HE.
But thank you 
?
