Hello all, I am a noob but I have had this automation running for a year or so. Randomly, it broke. I can't find anyone talking about this on the repo. Anyone have any ideas?

I've not got an answer, but from experience of using this integration, its nothing but problems. Whether its Amazon changing things in their API or whatever, every single time i try to use the integration for one thing or another, it is always broken and awaiting being fixed or something. It wasn't that long ago that the whole integration caused the whole of HA to have issues.

Did the integration initialize correctly?

#

Did you do a reboot?

@oak hemlock @wide pebble I rebooted, and I am still getting the error. Is there another integration that will let me trigger an Alexa routine?
