"Alexa Smart Home" option not showing on lamda trigger

0

When creating a trigger, the "Alexa Smart Home" option does not appear, but "Alexa" does, which is what I use for the function. I am using the US_EAST_1 region. Testing the lambda function works fine. When trying to save a skill in the Alexa developer console with the default endpoint of "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:561716694277:function:HomeAssistant" it returns the error

Please make sure that "Alexa Smart Home" is selected for the event source type, for provided arn [Invalid value] : arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:561716694277:function:HomeAssistant

Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

According to AWS documentation, the Alexa Smart Home trigger is only available at US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon) and EU (Ireland) regions, so you must deploy the Lambda function in one of them, depending on your use case country and language requirements.

Then, select "Alexa" as trigger configuration source and "Alexa Smart Home" as the Alexa product. Alexa Smart Home Lambda trigger

    Huh, I was following very closely the steps on a Youtube video and didn't see the "Alexa Smart Home" button. It defaulted to "Alexa Skills Kit", evidently. Worked like a charm after I created a new trigger with the proper selection. Thank you!!!!!!!
