Region Mismatch and API Errors

[Pingfragger]

Describe the bug

The Alexa Media Player integration is experiencing issues with region mismatch and API errors. When using amazon.de, no devices are found, and API errors occur. Switching to amazon.com lists devices but they cannot be controlled. The integration fails to authenticate properly with amazon.de, resulting in no devices being listed and API errors. When switching to amazon.com, devices appear but cannot be controlled, with logs showing domain mismatch errors between amazon.com and amazon.de.

To Reproduce

The integration fails to authenticate properly with amazon.de, resulting in no devices being listed and API errors. When switching to amazon.com, devices appear but cannot be controlled, with logs showing domain mismatch errors between amazon.com and amazon.de.

• Configure Alexa Media Player with amazon.de
• Observe that no devices are found and API errors occur.
• Switch to amazon.com.
• Devices are found but cannot be controlled; logs show domain mismatch errors.

Expected behavior

Devices should be discoverable and controllable using my Amazon region (amazon.de), without domain mismatch or authentication issues.

Additional context

What I already tried:

• Tried different versions of alexa_media
• Installed alexa_media on another HA system (version 2024.9.1) with the same error.
• Accessing https://alexa.amazon.com/api/devices-v2/device and https://alexa.amazon.de/api/devices-v2/device in a browser shows Alexa devices for both.
• OpenHAB with Echo Control Binding (similar to Alexa Media Player) works without API issues; login and devices function correctly.
• Disabled all Echo devices, Alexa apps, integrations/bindings for at least 12 hours due to "Too Many Requests" error, but same even after 12 hours
• Tried various login options over three days.
• Set async_timeout to 300; then encountered "Too Many Requests" error.
• Changed code in manifest.json "requirements": ["alexapy>=1.28.2", "packaging>=20.3", "wrapt>=1.14.0"],
• Tried putting the local HA-URL in the public URL
• Include only one Alexa device in the config
• Tried disabling the 2FA
• Deleting all logged in devices in the the Alexa app

All of this did not work

It worked to integrate my wife's account (Amazon.de without 2FA). The devices appear there

Assumption: The problem might accur due to the number of devices in my account (Total about 110 devices - Echos and some sensors via the xiaomi skill). The devices cannot be deleted from the alexa app - > unknown error

I have faced same issue:

• Home assistant docker container - 2024.11.3
• Alexa Media Player 5.0 (all recorders are removed from HA configuration file )
• all entities are unavailable after the account sync. Amazon account from DE but it possible to add only with COM

Where are your devices registered? www.amazon.com or .de?

Mine originally were registered in Amazon.com as that is where I bought my first echo. Since then, I've moved them to amazon.ca, then back to .com and earlier this year back to .ca (all moves were to gain access to skills only available in .com or in .ca).

You have to use the domain where they are registered. Using another domain is pointless as it will fail to see them.

If they are in .de, use .de. If that fails at some point, that failure needs to be investigated and fixed. Trying to add the integration with another domain will only succeed in authenticating and initial setup with the cookie but will fail to see devices.
