  1. Hello to all!

    It would be great to be able to change the playback speed of the audio launched via addAudioPlayerPlayDirective. It could be a new speed parameter from 0 to 2 where 1 would be normal speed, 0.5 would be half speed, 2 would be double...

    Thanks in advance,
    Regards!

  3. Currently Lambda is provisioned automatically for Alexa hosted skills but I've noticed problems sometimes like increased latency. Without having to log into the AWS side or do any other porting/changes, it would be nice to be able to configure some of the basic/important Lambda settings directly from the Alexa dev console. For example memory size and concurrency which are important ones to help with things like overall performance and latency.

  4. Please work to get the Alexa mobile app to support skill purchases or subscriptions directly (not talking about ISP here). It is a little awkward to make users switch to an Echo-compatible device or to the skill detail page on Amazon.com and then back to the app again to use a purchased skill. Thanks

  5. So then I could rename it and create a modified version more easily. Along with test, delete, etc. have duplicate listed as an action that can be performed on a skill.

  6. When using the ALEXA RADIO SKILLS KIT, it would be nice to add:
    Background
    Header
    Cover Image
    Audio
    Primary Text
    Secondary Text

    These are the same offerings in the MULTI-MODAL Response Builder, so you may already have the software?

  7. Add GIF files to the ALEXA RADIO SKILL. Offering some animation would enliven our SHOW display and would be really cool. We have a TV outlet that can produce such things for us.

  8. For device types like TV, Streaming devices, the skill implements interfaces like PowerController, Speaker, ChannelController, PlaybackController, RemoteVideoPlayer.

    It will be useful to have these options in the Alexa app for the device.
    We currently have some controls for Thermostat devices - mode, Temperature.
    It will be useful to have such controls in the Alexa app.

  9. I understand that Amazon deletes the access token when a user disables the skill, but the skill may have to do some clean up work in the third party account when that happens and you need an access token.
    Couldn't Amazon send the event and then delete the token so the skill has access to it for the last time?

  10. Enable OAuth with PKCE while linking Alexa skills with other accounts. I see that it is available for 'Login with Amazon' option, but not if we want to do it using our own auth service.

  11. The display category for "heater" show a set temperature point. I would like to use this category for my heater that only handle on/off commands.

  12. We keep the skill session open with users by giving them a follow up question prompt like "what else can I help with?". I have to believe there are a lot of skills that do this. There are quite a few circumstances where users ask things that 1st Party Alexa should respond to, not our skill. (Things like asking about the weather, about tides, or asking for a joke). We would like to be able to pass the ball back to 1st party for fulfillment.

    This could be done by either closing the skill session and providing the 1st party…

  13. I have setup a handful of "CatalogAutoRefresh" jobs along with one "ReferenceVersionUpdate" job to help keep my slot types fresh automatically when they change. And I have publishToLive set to true to ensure that the updates go to my live skill. This works great up to a point...

    The "CatalogAutoRefresh" jobs succeed with every execution. But it seems that the "ReferenceVersionUpdate" job will only succeed if I haven't changed my development interaction model. (Or if publishToLive is false, which is not what I want.)

    I assume that the failure is because the publishToLive aspect of "ReferenceVersionUpdate" works by doing the…

  15. The Alexa object already has a convenience function called getApiAccessToken() for obtaining the API Access Token. But (unless I am overlooking it) it doesn't have such a convenience function for obtaining the base API endpoint. For consistency's sake, it would be nice to have such a helper method.

  16. we developer skills for numerous publishing partners. we recommend the partners create their own alexa developer organization for business continuity since skill ownership cannot be transferred(!!) .

    more times than we can count, there has been staff changes at the partner company and no one can remember what email address was used to open the amazon developer account.

    we switch into the account using our developer-role credentials, but when we go settings, we get this message:

    "In Developer role, you do not have access to this page. Please contact your account admin to obtain the necessary permissions to access this…

  17. Routines should be able to include more than one skill and spoken command for “from the device you speak to”…

    For example, I have four bedrooms with echos and smart lights. I would like to be able to speak the same one phrase (“bedtime”) in any of those rooms and have a routine turn off the lights in that room (custom - lights off) and open sleep sounds brown noise (skill) on the echo in that room. Presently, routines are limited to only one “custom” OR one “skill” action “from the device you speak to” making it necessary for different…

  20. Create a user interface in the Alexa app for devices of the AIR_CONDITIONER display category. This could show the current temperature, include buttons for thermostat mode, fan speed, etc.
