Great work on this! I just got my Amazon Dot for Christmas and have already integrated it with my Vera home automation system. I spent some time getting it set up following the instructions here:

I had great trouble trying to get the deployment to AWS to work with signature timeouts but finally fixed it by moving my local machine clock forward by 5 minutes even though it was originally correct and synced with a time server. Go figure!
I'm now having trouble with "Alexa, ask the media centre to play random songs" which sits doing nothing for 30 seconds then says it's starting party mode but nothing happens. Looking in the Kodi log files I found...
looking into the code, it looks like it tried to get all of my 5000+ songs and form them into a single JSONRPC request which timed out. I tried to modify the code (def alexa_party_play(slots): in wsgi.py) to use the partymode RPC call mentioned in the post below

but it completely broke and not having used Python before I gave up. Any chance someone could code a fix that works?
Many thanks.
