Preconditions:
I have installed and listened to some default sentences of Alexa.
But as far as I want to use the device as a TTS-only one, that part is not workling

I even send a simple String like “hallo” to amazonechocontrol:echo:amazonAccount:G0014*****:textToSpeech (String)
and set amazonechocontrol:echo:amazonAccount:G0014*****:textToSpeechVolume (Dimmer)
to a higher level. But can not hear anything.
May the “flex” not be supportet for TTS and is only (wrong) listed becouse it is from echofamily?
Stable (3.2.0) binding was installed yesterday, so I guess the newest.
No error log onthe the info as posted above.
Did try a “reboot” of openhabian (is that command a bad idea?)
After restart all things were uninitialized (no error except of the corresponding rules)
did a “shutdown” and repowerd pi. Same issue: uninizialied
Then removed the “echo control binding” and suddenly all other bindings/thinks are working again.
I reinstalled it (dont touched the accountThing and the echoThing) an now even the TTS stuff works.
In my case it is a litte bit slow. So I hear “someText”, when the item changed from “someText” back to “” (last [INFO] line above).
So for my optionion to much done to identify the error
Was it the restart?
Was it necessary to remove the binding to get the others working again?
Are there such known errors in the binding?
Was the removing and reinstall of the binding the part leading to success?
Although I love unix-distributions in this case I would exspect some more helpfull logs (visible where?)
Hopefully someone could put his two cents to such generic stuff or link me to topics to read.
To be honest: I have no idea. TTS works for me (but not with the sentence posted above, Alexa complains about problems with the “Simon Says EU skill” which I don’t have installed).
Rebooting should be fine and never lead to a situation where you have to uninstall bindings afterwards.
The removal/re-install of the binding SHOULD not change anything (if the original binding wasn’t corrupted, but I doubt it would run at all then).
There are known issues in the amazonechocontrol binding, but not related to TTS.
