A fellow forum member has already assisted via PM but we've hit a dead end.

I cannot get Alexa to find the HEOS Home Entertainment skill in order to allow voice commands for my AVR (Marantz in this case).

Both of us are using Alexa app ver. 2.2.415290.0 loaded via APK. He sees the skill, I don't.

Have any other forum members managed to get this skill added?
 
Does he have a VPN or you maybe

The Alexa app isn't available in South Africa and most of the skills also not.

So you had to side load that app and for it to work you need to be in the US, so set your VPN to Atlanta

Don't think he used a VPN, neither did I.

I'll activate my VPN and try side load as you've suggested.
 
I tried in PM with him ..

I have no VPN - I've never needed on any of my phones though. The below method always worked (Huawei Mate 20 Pro & Mate 30 Pro with no GMS)

I've gone here >>> https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/amazonapp and downloaded the Alexa App from there. The same method worked when Netflix, Spotify etc wasn't available in the Play store. All of them were available in the Amazon Marketplace though . I've got the HEOS skill and every other I've tried a well.

Hoping that you smart people can help!
 
I see,

Okey what if you log into the website itself, can you see the skill there?

I had to add Sonoff skill via the Alexa portal as it wasn't visible on the app.

Can't see it if I log into Amazon from PC.
