Is this working on Echo Show 5? And what is the "someToken"?

[alexandrechoske]

HI guys, im using the Echo Show 5 3d gen and getting black screen everytime I try to open.

I already tried to open using the external url, but it loads, loads and then the echo return to home screen.

2 questions:

1 -> Is this working in Echo Show 5?
2 -> What token is used in the "someToken" part of the code?

Tkss

I have the same issue (als Echo Show 5, 3rd gen):

• going to http IP+portnumber -> black screen
• foing to https hostname (nginx proxy) -> home assistant logo with loading data

but after a while it returns to home

I have the same problem on the Echo Show 5. Using the external URL for my Home Assistant instance, when I launch the skill I just see the Home Assistant logo, with a spinning blue wheel and the text "Loading data". It does not prompt for login credentials. After about 30s, Alexa exits the webview.

Using my internal http URL, I just see a black screen. I've experimented by changing the template.json file: the APL template loads, but it does not open the web page. I suspect that the Echo Show 5 might not like websites that don't use https.

When I test the skill in my browser using the Alexa Developer Console, it works as expected. If I open the same URL manually in Silk on the Echo Show 5, it loads the Home Assistant login screen straight away. "Loading data" appears for a second or two after I enter my details, but the Lovelace dashboard then opens as normal.

Same issue - anyone had any success with Echo Show 5?
