1. Interaction Path in Dev Console does not include APL

   While the Interaction Path in the dev console is very handy it does not include APL interactions. More than half my users use the Show and I'd like to see what buttons they press.

2. Give us roundtrip time from alexa request to alexa response (regional lambdas)

   My skill is popular around the world. I want to know if it's worth creating region specific lambdas just for latency. Currently I can get timing of the lambda itself but that doesn't include the alexa to/from lambda time.

3. Allow more ISP subscription options besides one month or one year

   I have a sport skill. I want to offer a subscription for the season. 99 cents for a month is too steep and 99 cents for a year is awkward, I'd like to specify n months.

4. Allow progressive response to an APL button press

   Allow a progressive response to an APL button press. Currently this gives a "progress not allowed here" message. If you're using APL then a button press could easily result in some processing before the next APL screen is ready.

5. Add an audio challenge option to the visual challenge on the web portal when creating a new skill.

   I am a totally blind software developer and I want to learn how to develop Alexa skills. On the developer console when I go to create a new skill and enter the initial information about it, there is a visual only CAPTCHA to resolve before I can create the skill. I can't see the images so can't complete this CAPTCHA. Other CAPTCHAs I've found on Amazon have an audio option which is very good.

   Can we have an audio alternative on the CAPTCHA please when creating a new skill. Better still, maybe no CAPTCHA at all. After all, whoever is doing this on the developer console is already logged in and known to Amazon. So is a CAPTCHA really needed here?

   This same CAPTCHA seems to occur in other situations involving creating/modifying Alexa skills:
   * I can write Lambda functions in the AWS console without this problem. If I create my own LAMBDA function to host a skill, I still have to create the skill so it's the same problem.
   * I have worked out how to create a new skill by installing the ASK CLI on my computer and creating a skill from there. That's fine, but if for some reason I want to edit or do other things to it in the developer console, this requires some sort of conversion process. But that process also involves the same CAPTCHA.

   I actually think this is more of a fix request than a feature request. I am only asking for the same feature that other developers already have. Alexa's own accessibility guidelines should require all CAPTCHAs to have at least an audio alternative to a visual only CAPTCHA.

   Finally I would comment that there are many blind software developers around the world and it's likely a number of us are attracted to writing skills for a machine that talks. Amazon generally demonstrates a strong commitment to accessibility. This is a major barrier for totally blind developers so it should be fixed without delay. But there are other accessibility issues I've noticed in the Alexa developer console. I would ask Amazon to ensure the developer console meets widelyh accepted accessibility guidelines from now on.

6. Context Based Skills

   Allow skills to be context sensitive based on the setting/location of the given alexa device.

   For example, if you have an echo dot in each bedroom of a 3 bedroom house, it would be a lot more intuitive to be able to walk into the bedroom and say "Alexa, turn on the lights" - with the context being associated with the echo dot in that room - inferring just the lights in that room, not all lights in the house.

   In addition, you'd still have the traditional tagging such that from elsewhere you would have to provide context - so from the kitchen, the message might be "Alexa, turn off the lights in bedroom one".

   But in the kitchen, if you said "Alexa turn on the lights", this would, naturally, infer you only want the kitchen lights on. :)

9. SmartHome skill - support for brazilian portuguese on modeController

   Hello, I would like to request support for brazilian portuguese in the modeController API. I'm currently integrating alexa to my smart home product, and I have a garage door opener, and it'd be great if alexa had a support in pt-br for this kind of device.

12. Support for Smart Home Hobbyist developers

    There is a large community of users of e.g. Node Red and such systems as Home Assistant who benefit dramatically for something between the simplistic Blueprints and the large scsle complexity of skill development. These people are an open source community, not interested in monetisation. Using an AWS server is expensive, and alternatives involve risky port opening, and a home server available to all.
    It would be great to have a category of private skill, for running on a home server, just for that individual's home and family, which could be shared on e.g. github and improved that way. If Amazon supported such an effort with a kit and template skills on Github it would generate tremendous goodwill, and likely give it preferred status among hobbyists.

13. Alexa skill for HTTP custom commands

    It would be useful to have a skill in which to define voice activation commands and the relative URLs to call.
    For example, if I say "Alexa, do this thing" a custom HTTP call is made (eg http://192.168.1.46/roller/0?go=Stop)
    This way there is the possibility of piloting any device that supports HTTP calls.

14. Bluetooth connection announcement

    I know this has been noted ad nauseam, but I would like to request that there is a way to turn Alexa's announcement that it is connected to my computer each time it wakes up. I bought a new system, and instead of having a multitude of wires attached to it for speakers, I found that I could use my device as a Bluetooth speaker. I have my Echo set up will full volume, and I adjust levels with my computer. As a result, I get full blast "Alexa is connected to user's Mac Pro." It's quite irritating.

    I was unable to get this to cease by moving to brief mode, as suggested in a number of sites I googled.

16. phone to alexa

    it would be interesting to have the possibility to activate a skill by pressing a button from an app or by pressing a link on a website.

    Here is an example scenario.

    The skil "Magnitudine Assoluta" (amzn1.ask.skill.27a6febc-be8c-46ad-94a8-3211d12d87ad) satisfies the user's requests by searching on the website www.magnitudine-assoluta.it the topics desired by the user.

    But if the user is comfortably lying on the sofa with the phone in his hand and is browsing the site, he could find an article, understand that he is interested and press a link "Listen with Alexa", which somehow activates an intent of the skill on his devices, passing the necessary parameters to the business logic of intent to read that article.

    thanks for taking the time and if you implement this feature I would like to be the first to know :-) :-)

    Angelo.

17. Sunset offset greater than 60 minutes.

    Allow the sunset trigger to be offset by more than 60 minutes, similar to other platforms which allow greater control. Today I have to use a 3rd party to complete a task at sunset minus 90 and can only use Alexa at sunset minus 60. I'd prefer to keep this completely within Alexa.
