Happily found and set the fix from here:

Routines work perfectly again. Thank you very much! :grinning:

@Kai

The actual 2.5.x build process on the Echo binding for bug fixes has been broken and nobody is addressing it so we have to go to 3rd party URL to get the fix now.

Best, Jay

@J-N-K is this version with Alexa smart home device control ever going to be updated again, to work with openHAB 3.x?

My openHAB/smart home functionality has been severely limited for months and months now ever since updating to openHAB 3.1 at the beginning of the year. It is so much more convenient to setup this one binding linked to my Amazon account which is therefore subsequently connected to all of my smart home devices in my Alexa-centric home automation setup, as opposed to adding and managing many separate device bindings from each manufacturer here in openHAB, especially when there arenā€™t bindings for a number of the products that I own. I really wish this binding was working again and that it could just be merged with the regular Amazon Echo Control bindingā€¦ :frowning: :pray:t2:

Edit: Sorry, everything is working beautifully! Iā€™m only just now really taking time to sit down and migrate everything from OH 2.x to 3.x and wasnā€™t seeing any of my Amazon devices in the ā€œInbox,ā€ but then I discovered the ā€œscanā€ button for the actual binding itself and suddenly all of my devices are showing. It is working beautifully. :slight_smile: Sorry for the confusion/for being totally confused over here.

Is there any way to pull the text from the response? I noticed on the alexa.amazon website it does have the response from TextCommand channel. It would be nice to get this in a string somehow.
