Failed to enable skill for test
I was following below instruction to set up a smart home skill: https://github.com/alexa/alexa-smarthome/wiki/Build-a-Working-Smart-Home-Skill-in-15-Minutes
However, at the test stage, I failed to enable the skill, as I got below error: The authorization server returned with an error parameter. Please refer to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1.2.1 for more details.
Please advise. Thanks
I had the same problem. By using the Chrome dev tools, and turning on its option 'Auto open DevTools for popups', I was able to capture the error parameter in the auth popup, which was something like 'Invalid scope'. Taking a guess, I tried changing the scope in the security profile I'd set up to "profile:user_id" (from here) instead of "profile", and then it worked!
Not sure why "profile" wasn't accepted - can anyone shed any light? (I'm in the UK, in case that affects security/privacy options).
One issue I had was not actually enabling my created security profile to log in with amazon. If you navigate to the amazon developer console and click Login with Amazon, you can enable your security profile by providing a Consent Privacy Notice URL. I just used amazon's: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468496.
Thanks @rouport, that was very helpful!
i have done the same but still not working for me
@rouport anyway i figured it out and the skill enabled. but how do i know if this works? i tried Alexa, turn on switch and it says it i dont have a switch.. hehe
Hi pixelatedpic, were you able to discover the device first? If not, please have a look at the following documentation about how to respond to discovery directives so that Alexa can discover the endpoints associated with your smart home skill: https://developer.amazon.com/de-DE/docs/alexa/device-apis/alexa-discovery.html#directives
Please note that the discovery process can potentially fail because of a mismatch between the account's PFM (Preferred market place), the skill locale, and the lambda endpoint region.
