Alexa issues

[nutsofamily]

• alias: 'Vancouverl Goal Announcement' trigger: platform: event event_type: nhl_goal event_data: team_id: "23" action: service: notify.alexa_media entity_id: media_player.white data: message: 'Canucks scored!'

I cannot get Alexa to report anything.

I also copied verbatum the home and away automation template you had for away and home team scores but I dont get anything.

The device I want to hear on is called "white" which is the echo device.

If I call to service the notify.alexa_media with { "message": "Test", "data": { "type": "announce", "method": "speak" }, "target": ["White"]}. I can hear it come through the device.

Hi, please format your code properly by highlighting it and clicking on the <> button. I can't tell what the issue is without seeing your indentation. Please also paste your configuration.yaml entry. Thanks.

My lovelace card shows scores properly as well as game times. I just cant seem to get the alexa automation TTS

[JayBlackedOut]

At first glance, the YAML looks fine. What happens if you trigger the automation manually from the automation config panel?

[JayBlackedOut]

I just looked up your Alexa custom component. I believe you should have the following in the action section of the automation:

  service: notify.alexa_media
    data:
      data:
        type: tts
      target: 
        - media_player.white
      message: 'Canucks scored!'

    data:
      data:
        type: tts
      target: 
        - media_player.white
      message: 'Canucks scored!'`

I get :Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here in "/config/automations.yaml", line 9, column 9

The only TTS I hear executing is final score (albeit Alexa does not report a score just "none to ..

The other automations dont do anything

[nutsofamily]

Executing away score I get: Logger: homeassistant.components.automation.away_scores Source: components/automation/init.py:408 Integration: Automation (documentation, issues) First occurred: 9:24:35 PM (1 occurrences) Last logged: 9:24:35 PM

Everything under action is under indented. This is not an issue with the sensor or goal event though... I will close this issue but recommend you ask for help on the Home Assistant Community forums as I am no expert on how to configure your custom Alexa component properly.
