was broken is releases 4.11.1 to 4.11.4 but has been resolved in 4.11.5.
Please upgrade to the latest integration release and if your issue is resolved, would you be so kind as to close it?
Thanks!
You might need to turn the option on and off a few times to get it to work too, I had to.

It appears that while it may still work for you locally within your Amazon cloud network of devices, I strongly suspect that since the continual advancement of the Amazon infrastructure and what we are able get programmatically from it is in constant flux, I strongly believe that the integration can no longer support a device that we no longer have access to at an HTTP/S level.
Apologies for not being able to test this. I’ll be able to get to this in a couple of days.
However, the device that’s referenced in my initial logs (Echo Glow) is not the one you’ve linked (Amazon Glow). The Echo Glow light which is still for sale, is really just like a smart bulb.
@danielbrunt57 As mentioned previously, the issue at hand is not with the Amazon Glow devices (although there may be understandable problems with that). It's the Echo Glow devices (a big frosted RBG light) that have become unavailable within HA. Amazon is still selling them, they're still working in the Alexa app without issue, so they're likely still supported by Amazon. I think it's been about a month or more since these devices became unavailable in HA.
Unfortunately, unless I were to personally acquire one to debug it, I don't see how I can help...

Describe the bug
Echo Glow devices are no longer being recognized by this integration. It looks like this issue may have been addressed in #2185, but post closure of the issue, there are still reports of issues happening. Might also be related to #2344
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
The integration should process this device as a supported light entity. #680 is the initial support for this device type in this integration.
