Alexa not recognising json response

[fintan63]

Hi

I can sucessfully call my smart home skill by saying

Alexa switch input to Satellite

Lambda receives the directive as

{
    "directive": {
        "header": {
            "namespace": "Alexa.InputController",

        },
        "payload": {
            "input": "SATELLITE"
        }
    }
}

I send back the following but Alexa says 'Hmm this device is not responding'

{
    "context": {
        "properties": [
            {
                "namespace": "Alexa.InputController",

            }
        ]
    },

Can anyone see anything wrong with my response?

@Griffinx, I believe the issue is because your response name and namespace are incorrect. They should be Response and Alexa respectively, as per sample code and documentation. Please give those a try, and if it still fails, re-open this issue, thanks!

The reason this was an issue to begin with is probably because the sample javascript code on this page is wrong and reflects the same response namespace and name that OP initially used: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smarthome/steps-to-build-a-smart-home-skill.html
