Hi I seem to have the same problem after the last update all Echos are shown but in the HA entity list are shown as unavailabe. Reload of the Alexa SW has been done as well as restart. All was working before the last update.

I am in NZ and my region is AUS the only one for us

If this is true, you’re not putting in the correct Alexa domain as all communications in your log are for .com and not .au. Your devices are also registered in the US and not in AUS. No idea what interactions you may see if you’re doing that.
