Install Amazon Alexa On Pc
Boone Southern
I am quite new to HA, just installed it on an NUC7i5 a week ago, installed some add ons like Philips TV, File Explorer, HACS and things like that since then. Also installed the SkyConnect stick on my NUC. Everything went quite normal using several videos mostly from simon42 on youtube and I did nothing special. Everything worked fine so far.
Trying to follow the port issue, I changed the port of my HA installation to 443 in the configuration.yaml, which works fine locally in my home, but did not chage the failure when trying to activate the home assistant skill in the alexa-App. I also activated the 2 phase authorization in my amazon account (once by using MS authentificator, once by getting the access code per text message on my phone), cause I thought/read, that it would be necessary. Some information from the internet pointed to port configration/redirecting of the router to redirect calls from outside of my local net to HA for the authentification calls by the skill activation.

I mostly could not really understand these descriptions, as my knowladge is minimal in these subjects. I gave up at 3 AM and hope, that someone here can help me as a I am not that deep into the technical details. I already read some topics here from which I often understand not the half of it.
Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.
I Try to connect Alexa with the Spotify account and I get the " You are not eligible to enable this skill due to geographical restriction" I have friends with free pr premium Spotify account in the same city asme who can connect.
... so I changed my primary address with US ( it works with Germany also) and Spotify and other music apps appear.... still Alexa was not happy with connection settings.. but after reset on both Alexa device and phone app, they are happy together and I can listen to my favourite music.
To solve this you need to have an android phone. Download and install the old version of Alexa app without the restriction, I went down up to 2018 version, you can download from this link - _id=942356/amazon-alexa
After installing the old version, login with your Alexa account then proceeds to add Spotify in Skills then link your Spotify account. There will be no restriction (no need to change your country or location)
After uninstalling the old version, you can now install the latest and log in with same Alexa account (this time either iOS or Android). You will see that Spotify skill will still be there enabled with no issue.
update - I tried all of the above solutions with no success - until I went into the "apps" section in my spotify account, removed the access granted to alexa, then I was able in the spotify app to re-enable the access, and now it works.
I have also tried to get to another device, so I haven't now problem with My Google Nest. I'll try to look on It as soon as possible, but maybe I'll have to change My country for example to United states.
