Doesn't work #30

Closed w-brown closed 1 year ago

w-brown commented 6 years ago

Given that I am only an intermediate programmer as my background has been more hardware based over the years, I have never seen anything as poorly managed as the Alexa project when it comes to Amazon changing the interface.

I followed the instructions, took notes and believed I was understanding how this all fits together only to hit a roadblock as when getting to the last steps, I get an error telling me that I need to have the Alexa Skills Kit (not Alexa Smart Home) as a trigger for my Lambda function.

Seriously, I have spent the best part of a week trying to get a simple test to work by trying various samples I can find and all have ended in frustration. From 2 month old youtube videos being out dated because yet again Amazon has changed something to their own sample files which should be copy and paste always seem to have an issue when it comes to actually using an echo with a registered account.

Can you verify this project and update if needed? For now I am going to go over to google and get my project working with them. If I can't get this solved, I guess Amazon will be left in the dust as I build my hardware platforms to work with the competition instead.

What type of Skill do you have configured in the Dev Portal? Can you share the skill ID?

Thanks a lot. 3 years without an answer... I know for sure now that I don't want to waste my spare time trying to make a skill for my private project.
