errorjava.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No json exists for response on line 1016 (getBluetoothHandler)
you can ignore them. it seems amazon is rejecting some of the connections for those calls(too many successive calls on multiple devices for your account)
Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else, I searched the various threads ad nauseam to no avail. I'm transitioning over from Smartthings and I use Echo Speaks setVolumeSpeakAndRestore with webCore to do random messages for Hello and Goodbye triggered events, and I can't figure out how to do this with the Hubitat Rule Machine using Custom Commands. Help!

In Rule Machine 3.0, you can now use “Custom Actions”, which also allow you to pass parameters to these custom commands from various devices. I believe Custom Actions are much more flexible than the old Custom Commands. Perhaps Custom Actions will help solve this issue? Just an idea...

Thanks for the suggestion. Alas, I’m not able to make work with Custom Actions either. I’m starting to wonder if it’s even possible...
Even though you could make a Custom Command for setVolumeSpeakAndRestore, you would have to also put in the message into the custom command. As I like to use random messages I use Welcome Home app for arrivals and Departures app for Departures. In these apps he has settings to restore your echo speakers to a volume you set after speaking.
Agreed... that's why I recommended Custom Actions, instead of a Custom Command. The Custom Actions allow you to pass in parameters to the device's custom commands. Still might not be perfect for all uses, but should definitely help with some! 
a naïve question: does Echo Speaks require a physical ST Hub (as I understood) or is it sufficient an ST account?
Echo Speaks doesn't require an ST hub if you are using it with Hubitat.
You don’t need SmartThings whatsoever if you’re using Hubitat. The documentation all refers to ST, but you simply need to do the same steps on Hubitat instead.
I went and started a new thread before seeing this was more than just about making Alexa do TTS.
Amazon enabled "Guard" today -- but you're supposed to tell Alexa when you're leaving and when you're arriving. If those functions could be incorporated into a tool like this, we could then use the Hubitat presence flag and RM to "arm/disarm" Guard...
Any chance that might be possible?
Right now i'm not seeing anything I can use to trigger Alexa Guard. I promise that as soon as there is a way It will be added.
Hopefully they add it to the routines and once they do I will certainly be able to add support
Just an FYI... Alexa Guard only seems to be supported on newer Echos | Show, Spot, Dot (Gen3)
I'm honestly not sure why it's duplicating all of those commands like that in the UI
@tonesto7. Perhaps I missed something, but I'm not sure of what I need to do if I want to add a new Echo Dot (have a new one coming today) to my setup. Is it done in the app or do I actually have to re-deploy the Heroku server?
Pair the new Echo to your Amazon account.
The app actually does a full device refresh every 10 minutes and will automatically add any new Echo devices found on your account.
If you want to do it immediately then open the Echo Speaks app in Hubitat and press Done after It will show up as a device within 10-20 seconds.

Have tried using the stock Notifications app to send notifications to my Echos using Echo speaks.
I have 4 Echos selected for a notification. But usually only 1 or 2 respond. Not always the same one. I have tried using the text notification and the audio device notification.
What could be causing this? I never had this problem on that other platform.
Amazon has a max request within a certain time frame. Maximum of 3 rapid pushes is all I can achieve before they throw an error back.

I'm getting this error in my logs from a newly added Echo Dot:
java.lang.Exception: No response data exists for async request on line 2415 (asyncSpeechHandler)
