    Amazing video! I like the way you explain things and escalate the difficulty from a beginner level to a really advanced one. The good thing you do and others don't is that you don't assume that the viewer knows anything. Also you keep everything to the point. I am binging your videos!!

    Thanks to your concise way of teaching, I was able to do what I almost gave up on because people would say it cannot be done. I can now trigger my robot vacuum via home assistant, which is connected by a third party alexa skill to the amazon echo device. I connected my HA to my Alexa dev account and setup an alexa routine to turn on the vacuum. That routine is then triggered via a homeassistant script or automation just as you showed, with only a couple seconds delay. Perfect!! The mini player doesn't work for me yet, but I only use the wonderful HA spotify integration anyway to have additional context and control over what and where spotify is playing.

    You can use a skill called My Pod which allows Alexa to access your music. you can then use HA to trigger Alexa to call the service and your music. I have previously used it and it works but it is a bit of a setup. There’s not a simple way really to access your own music with Alexa and HA (as far as i know). You would need to store your music in a place accessible by my pod or use the my pod host. You can use HA to tell Alexa to trigger a set song or playlist using music services too.

I thought that I was missing something but I realized that yours are the same (at 6:50 on your video). Not a big deal because everything work fine! But just a few questions about that. Do you know what this entities are for? And.. hmm can we get rid of this entities without any Effects? Today I'm gonna check your third video about Alexa (actionnable notification)..

    For anyone getting server 500 errors when trying to login this is probably because of a bug in Alexa Media Player (bug #1440) fixed in a later version (v3.10.13 or 14 I think) but this version requires the 2021.12 version of HA. So you need to first update HA, then Alexa Media Player. Also clearing my browser cache fixed the custom element not found error for me.

    Hi Mark thanks for the video! I was using the Alexa integration that you mentioned on the video before and it was working fine. After installing duckdns I'm not able to get it running again. I'll get an Url error on the configuration process. Also, Im using Alexa Skill and I have my HA devices on Alexa now. Im not sure if this would do the same or is the other way around. Please any help would be appreciated

    I don’t think you can target the alexa app with iOS (not sure about android). Some devices that run tvs work though (other speakers, tvs etc). Another option would be to use custom Sound Notifications. This would let you play pre written phrases (works on iOS) I recently did a video on this.

    Thanks for the guide. Any idea if it is possible to create a button on a Home Assistant dashboard to play a radio station? For example would normally say "Alexa play BBC Radio 6 music", but replace this with a dashboard button? Ideally would like to have 1 button t start playing radio and one button to stop playing. Thanks!

    AMP installed and configured successfully. Spotify installed and configured successfully. My Alexa Sonos One happily plays music/does TTS. All of my Amazon related Alexa devices (echos/shows/dots etc) appear correctly in the AMP, and can have their basic controls altered by HA (volume, on/off, pause/play) but none can play any form of media: 'Media player does not support browsing media' is the error message when I try. I'll straight up PayPal you £50 if you can fix it Mark!

    I did a video on how to play custom MP3s. But if its a set track etc I would reccomend checking out something like MyPod or other bits of software. This will allow you to host files on your PC and have Alexa play them. You can then use HA to trigger the track etc via a script or automation. Theres currently not a super clean way to do it :S (That im aware of anyway)
