hi Axel - can you help me with sorting the creation of the lambda function out?
And I document it in a way that you can extend your doc also for AWS beginners?

Thanks, Boris

I am having the same problem. I did manage to get the car net skill configured and the lambda code loaded. I even managed to link the two, but then it stops.

In the lambda function I looked for some phyton examples and none of those work with a simple response json. If i do a test in the skill builder I can see the lambda function gets invoked on the developer console but there is no proper response it seems. Even if I just

Please elaborate on who to set this up properly. Especially the correct lambda trigger. Should that be Alexa Skills Kit? Do you need to specify the skill ID there? etc.

Hi,
I think I found an (the?) issue. I stripped out the script and slowly added things back in to see what happened. I now have it working but without the location bit. (line 232) I tried the google api used separately and it comes back with an error "Keyless access to Google Maps Platform is deprecated." and goes into a loop as counter is not increased. With out it now works. Very cool!
