Trying to query a HA entity but getting "sorry thats not supported yet"

[daknightuk]

Home assistant entity is called sensor.battery_state_of_charge this is a percentage from 0%-100% I created this nodered flow which I think is correct but I don't know what to set up the entity on the skills bridge (or the exact phrase to ask alexa) I'm just looking to get a response from something like:

Alexa tell me the battery state

"Your battery is at xx percent" as a response. I have read all the documentation and I have also posted in the nodered group for at least a couple of months and got no-where with it. I know this will be something simple, might not even be supported? hence why I raised this issue in the hope that either you can point me in the right direction or that an enhancement can be made to support this.

This is not possible and there is no ongoing development for this skill (it is based on an old API that cannot support this)

Thanks I am working around this by just creating a switch in the skills bridge which will change the state of a HA entity, when that entity changes I will use the Alexa Media Player to report the entity value instead.
