I'm tying to make a simple test custom Alexa Skill, but I'm stuck and I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe someone more experienced know what I'm missing?
Invocation Name
home system
Intent Schema
{
"intents": [
{
"intent": "AMAZON.HelpIntent",
"slots": []
},
{
"intent": "TestIntent",
"slots": [
{"name": "test", "type": "AMAZON.NUMBER"}
]
}
]
}
Sample Utterances
TestIntent set state {test}
TestIntent add state
I have written my own little python server on my own self hosted server, I already have a working news flash skill on the same system. I have spend plenty of time looking at the documentation, reading tutorials and I looks like I have done what I'm supposed to do.
The result I get is this:
A LaunchRequest works, both in the Service Simulator and on the Echo. It triggers a HTTP POST with the expected JSON, and I get the expected voice reply.
But the IntentRequest only works from the Service Simulator, it never works on the Echo. I say for example "alexa home system set state eight", no requests are made to my server, the echo just makes a sound and that's all.
I have no idea how to debug this, the skill is a US skill and my Echo is in US mode. I have tried to set the endpoint in both Europe and North America. Tried different trigger words, different slots, no slots ... and I have of course checked under Settings -> History to make sure that the device understood me correctly.
Any idea what to try next? How to debug this?
