2 quick setup questions please #33

Open BigDave70 opened 2 years ago

So I am new to all this but normally pretty good with techie stuff

2 quick questions;

When working on AWS Lambda setup you mention Go to the drop down "Location" menu at the top right and select one close to you, eg Europe (London). I am in Wales so I set it to Europe (London)

When I try to add a trigger, I click on Alexa but I don't see Alexa Smart Home, however if I go back and set my location to Europe (Ireland) and follow the same procedure I do see Alexa Smart Home option?? london Ireland

I currently have set it up using my location as (Europe) Ireland will this be an issue moving forward?

Secondly

Further down I get to a section called Finish the account linking At the end of this section there is a link - https://pitangui.amazon.com/partner-authorization/establish

When I click on that link I get the error message

error

Is this going to be an issue, if so any ideas on how to fix it, all my entries seem to be good up to this point

Thanks for your time

The Ireland thing definitely won't be a problem, I run mine from Ireland, I thought London was now an option but evidently not.

Where did you find the "Finish the account linking" link? Can you post a screenshot?

No worries. I found it hard to set up the account linking, and I did it 3 years ago so I can't really remember how I did it!
