All good, sometimes I’m my own worst enemy, it hasn’t changed. 
This is so much true. HA Bridge to Openluup running on Debian Buster. Voice control is totally flawless. Most often the command has completed before Alexa even managed to say ‘OK’ That’s for direct action to switches. Some of my more complex Reactor sensors are still slow but that’s because it’s still the UI7 engine running the show once HA bridge has flicked the switch.
As for TTS with jq and announcements, it just makes so much more sense. All the echos around the house (or whatever sub group you chose) all at the same time. It’s a step up and into the future I read about as a teenager

@therealdb I’m finding that I’m having to do an AlexaTTS reset and generate a new cookie whenever it stops working now - I never get the OTP at all, it just stops working.
Amazon has been more aggressive lately. Unfortunately there’s few things you can do about it.
I found if i removed the OTP override for all browsers, in the amazon security settings at amazon.co.uk (uk site). Then i still get the OTP. I then do not tick the allow this browser check box when signing in to other browsers. The only annoying thing is i have to use the OTP on all signin’s, except the alexa app once signed in.

Does this plugin work for the Vera 3 controller (latest firmware 1.7.1040)? I followed the instructions to upload files and create device. Updated all variables (user, pass, host, domain, etc). Tested the lua code to say something but no luck. winSCP into vera and I do not see any storage folder.
Any suggestions?
Not tested, but maybe it’s just a matter of path. Just modify the lua file with a path you know will work on your device and try again.
I uploaded files and created the device several times but nothing is displayed in variables, once I uploaded the .sh file then a few items displayed in variable page.
can anybody help me what is my mistake?

Setup is OK. Logs are necessary in order to understand what’s going on.
I removed files and uploaded them again at 11:40 PM.
Created a device at 11:51 PM and then rebooted the unit at 11:57 PM
In the LOG I find something strange:

I will soon do a proper release for this plug-in as well (you know, zip files).
I did and I forgot about it: Releases · dbochicchio/VeraAlexa · GitHub
I tested a lua code and vera sent is successfully but there was no action in Alexa
Can anybody help me what is wrong?
In storage I think files are hidden (the size of folder I guess)

enable DebugMode, by setting the same variable to 1 and run it again.
