Hi,
My lambda function is in region N.Virginia and smart home skill geographical region is North America. I am able to authenticate and enable skill in alexa app but it is not invoking lambda function. I have entered correct application id in lambda triger with smart home alexa. i have also configured smart home skill with correct lambda ARN. How to fix this problem ???
If you add the CloudWatch Logs it will be more easy to answer your question...
When i am selecting EU(Ireland) region for lambda function my alexa app then discover my devices but voice enabled device not discovering. Again when i am selecting N.virginia region my alexa app unable to discover devices as it is not invoking lambda. lambda cloudWatch log is empty in case of N.virginia region.
Hi there,
Can you please confirm the following?
exports.handler = function(request, context) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(request));
...
...
}
Then confirm the events are getting logged in the cloudwatch logs.
My problem was that i used the node.js alexa-smart-home-skill-adapter blueprint while creating my Lambda function, but this has old event namespaces defined. You need to change it based on the sample python code that you can see here: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/steps-to-create-a-smart-home-skill#create-a-lambda-function
So for example:
case 'Discovery'
Should be:
case 'Alexa.ConnectedHome.Discovery'
And so on... After the changes, it was working as expected. Without these changes, the CloudWatch log was completely empty.
Thanks visztpeter. I have already checked these conditions and its exactly what you suggested.

Do you have solve this problem ,and how ,I have apper this problem
difficult problem, at my place it is the other way around. I only get it to work ( from skill to aws) when I select Virginia for AWS.
when I select ireland, I can test my AWs part, and that works. but it seems that the skill cannot reach ireland??
I have the same problem. Even if I choose the 'English (UK)' language in the skill, my 'EU west (Ireland)' lambda never gets called. I must host the lambda in Virginia.
With me also Ireland lambda skill is getting discovered while the NVirginia Skill is not. Any update on this ?
