| Alexa Devices | Not working Cloud | Speak entities for Alexa speaker groups produce no notification; issue closedSaved copyHi @Didgeridrew , thx for reporting. > > Can you please give me more details of non working devices, like brand and model ? The "devices" are Alexa Speaker groups (aka WHA groups) composed of 2nd and/or 3rd Gen Amazon Echo dots. I have tested groups composed of just 2nd Gen, just 3rd Gen, and mixed 2nd & 3rd Gen... the results are the same, no audio notification when using the "speak" `notify` entities. All combinations work as expected when using the "announce" entities. Model #'s: C78MP8 RS03QR Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #146574 · 2025-06 |

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
