I have published the connect-four skill, which uses the display of the Echo Show device to show the game board: https://www.amazon.com/Ferenc-Hechler-Connect-Four-Game/dp/B0784K179Q
Today I got a notification from the Alexa Skill Team, that my skill does not show up correctly on the Echo Spot device and that the skill now operates in voice-only mode on Echo Spot devices.
I will not be able to make changes to the GUI, so that the same template looks well on both devices. I have to provide different templates for each device. What I need, is an identifier to detect, whether the used device is an Echo Show or an Echo Spot, or some other Display-Information to decide, which size the images inlined in the text should have.
I would suggest some helpful information in
event.context.Display...
or in
event.context.System.device...
but I could not find something.
Perhpas someone can give me a hint, how to decide which template to use, because I have no access to an Echo Spot device to test it myself.
I live in Germany, where the Echo Spot is not yet available. I tried to order at amazon.com, but I only get "Echo Spot cannot be shipped to the selected address. ...". If anyone has an idea, how to order an Echo Spot from Germany, I would be very happy.
Currently I am working on the "carballo chess" skill, and this skill will have the same problems:
