Do notifications work using the alexa app itself? I don't recall that ever working.
Do notifications work using the alexa app itself? I don't recall that ever working.
It seemed buggy for me at first, but I managed to get it working by following these steps:
It worked when I tested it in Developer Tools > Services and entered:
service: notify.alexa_media_this_device
data:
message: "Hello"
After restarting HA, a new entity called "media_player.this_device_2" appeared. Now I have both "media_player.this_device" and "media_player.this_device_2," and that's when it stopped working.
After one more HA restart, "media_player.this_device" disappeared, leaving only "media_player.this_device_2." It still fails to work, even when I call this service:
service: notify.alexa_media_this_device_2
data:
message: "Hello"
Interesting. I guess you can debug it by looking at the supposed serial number. I'll mark this as a bug and maybe someone will be able to track it down for you.
I had an issue like this, steps I folllowed to resolve, Reauthenticate Alexa media player, Reboot HA, (Still not working) read your post then tryed another reboot of HA. All my entities are now back with the names as they have always been. I've had a similar issue with other integrations in the past and get the feeling that sometimes they get "stuck" in HA even though you can't see them so Bulb becomes Bulb_2 etc.

Describe the bug
"This Device" device is from the Alexa app in my phone. The media player entity is media_player.this_device and the notify service is notify.alexa_media_this_device. I tried to send TTS message to this device but nothing happened.
To Reproduce
type: tts
Alternatively, you can select notify.alexa_media as the service and enter media_player.this_device as target.
Expected behavior
My phone's Alexa should say out the message, but it is not.
