There is no Alexa Smart Home trigger

Question

I'm following the official documentation while creating the Alexa Smart Home skill. The Create a Lambda function and add code step, point 6 is asking me to "…select the Alexa Smart Home trigger". But there is no Alexa Smart home trigger in the Triggers list. Do I do something wrong?

Answer 1

I just noticed this too, but quickly realized that it is not on the Ohio server. You must choose N. Virginia, EU (Ireland), or US West (Oregon).

Answer 2

Ok, I've found the problem. The Alexa Smart Home trigger is not available in the EU server location!

Answer 3

I was struck on this for a while until I did realise, that smart home is available at very limited place. For example they've mentioned in the I formation section as well to select the smart home. For India, Europe. They've suggested to select Ireland. This is explicitly available in Lambda function as Smart Home Skill.
