Description
Describe the bug
I cannot get my Echo Auto to speak using automatons or scripts. However, I can use Developer Tools, Actions to make my Echo Auto speak. All conventional Echo devices work fine.
To Reproduce
If I go to Developer Tools-->Actions, and enter notify.alexa_media_my_echo_auto and type hello in the message field, my Echo Auto speaks just fine. I can get my echo auto to say anything I want.
Using Developer Tools-->Actions, and set the action to the non specific notify.alexa_media with a message of hello and a target of media_player_my_echo_auto does not work. Only the previous example works.
Doing the same thing using a script or automation also does not work. Both the automation and the script run, but the Echo Auto does not say anything.
Sample Script:
alias: Test Echo Auto Simple
sequence:
- action: notify.alexa_media_andreas_s_echo_auto
data:
message: hello
mode: single
description: ""
Sample Automation:
alias: Test Echo Auto Automation
triggers:
- entity_id: input_boolean.test_trigger
to: "on"
trigger: state
actions: - action: notify.alexa_media_my_echo_auto
data:
message: "hello"
mode: single

Additional context
I have tried all sorts of stuff from simple to complex to get my Echo Auto to speak, and it only works in Developer Tools, Actions, with the specific entity selected using notify.alexa_media_my_echo_auto and any message I want.
I am attempting to report what I believe to be a bug. I am not necessarily looking for a solution, but I will take one if you have one! Thank you very much!
I hope this is helpful!
