Hi Skill created and test on pc - works. Logged into my alexa app, found the DEV skill, but can't open it on alexa, she don't know the skill "Dashboard Viewer"?

Hi @tpbillund! Please check if the locale of the skill matches the locale of your Echo device. This seems to be a common error (see here for example).

@aldadic Thx alot, it worked, my problem is now, that my alexa device is giving me a "This site can't be reached", but it can, from my pc, same local network... but again thx.

That's really strange. If you are using homeassistant.local as URL, you could maybe try the local IP address instead. I once had a problem using homeassistant.local on the Echo Show. Otherwise I can't really help you in that regard because it's a networking issue.

It appears that the silk browser truncates the port number (everything from the colon and after in the homeassistant URL). Recall the DASHBOARD_URL = "http://homeassistant.local:8123/echo-show/" has a colon in it Specifically, the web URL showed up correctly, however everything from the colon and after was truncated. I ended up using my remote nabu casa URL instead for now. I re-deployed that and it works. I'll take that victory for now!
