For new HA/Alexa Media Player users: To use this script you will need to create 3 helpers (input_text.announcement_text, input_text.cmd_text, and input_select.alexa_state). The input_select needs to include either the location (room) or some other identifier for each Alexa device you want to use. You will then need to add those detail to the following template sensor:
