Hi @Jamie, how can I send you a “direct message” with the details and the link to the images? I can’t find a way. 😅

I’ve just read nearly all posts to find out how to do it, but haven’t found anything. Sorry & thx

@JPe4619 Thanks, but I’m too stupid. I can’t find “Message”.

Thats comes directly when I click on the name:

I just created my community account a few minutes ago. Do I have to write more to write “direct messages”?

Probably you are too “new” for DM, try the github url.  
Or use the tag @Jamie

I can’t find a way, not even on github. Im so sorry.  
So now I try it here: @Jamie I would like to suggest the Libratone Zipp.

- **Libratone Zipp 2**  
Average power consumption: 13 watts

- **Libratone Zipp 2 Mini**  
Average power consumption: 11 watts

The images (SVGs and PNGs) can be found at:

> **[Alexa Integration - Libratone Zipp 2 - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jPnyeZo2l3-o0iNn9TB5a-OGuoh0vDQb?usp=sharing)**

I don’t know how to find the unique identifier.  
Where can i find them?

Hi Jamie, apologies if this has already been mentioned but 810 posts are a lot to go through 🙂  
Every time my Homey restarts I have to log in Amazon again. I have generated a report 0bcbee7d-1b11-40ee-9950-de1dd7ec21c5 just in case anything interesting is in there.  
The second problem is the connect procedure seems to use a local IP address so I can only do it from home.

That’s the screen I get after tapping on Connect.

@Davy_Vissers, does Alexa work on your Sonos speakers now? Have you found a workaround?  
Alexa does not work on my Sonos One speakers at all.

</div>

To be honest I haven’t had the time (and forgot) to check up on this. I know Alexa works on the Sonos One itself.  
I just tested it and I can connect it as an Alexa device to Homey, but the buttons do nothing an it doesn’t react to a flow.  
But neither does my Echo Show 5.

I just tried again but now connected to the US server, instead of EU, and it works now.

Thx for reminding me.

Ok, thank you very much for the feedback.  
Do I have to delete the devices and add them again?

Edit: I deleted one Sonos One and add it again. I also restarted the Amazon Alexa app. Nothing to hear (volume set high, of course).

I didn’t delete the Echo Show 5, but the Sonos One was already removed, so I had to add it again.

Did you switch region in de settings of the app? From previous conversations in this thread, if I remember correctly, this could solve it.

If you mean from Europe to US, yes I did.  
Or do you mean to switch the region in the iOS/Android Amazon Alexa App? If so, where can I switch the region? Didn’t find any possibility.

Hi @Jamie and @Sven_B,

I have the same problem. I can find any routines and due to the stupid IFTTT pro, i really want this HOMEY-ALEXA connection to work.

@Jamie Can you take another look for us?

```
{"code":500,"error":"Cannot read property 'filter' of undefined","error_description":"Cannot read property 'filter' of undefined"}

```

and

```
{"code":500,"error":"Cannot read property 'logger' of undefined","error_description":"Cannot read property 'logger' of undefined"}

```

I am in The Netherlands and tries all servers. Everything else works (play music, announce etc) great, but the Routines aren’t found,

Its not possible for the app to work remotely as it creates a proxy server to connect to the amazon servers, to gather the credentials.

Please ensure that you have named your routines.

+1 Still having this problem. Tried every suggested workaround (switching servers, calling routine action twice).

If localization is a factor, I’m sitting in Norway using a German Amazon account.

Sorry @thierry_arguimbau I don’t have any plans to add this feature as its a significant time investment for an edge case.

I hope you understand.
