JSON config error

[Lothar1994]

I'm currently getting an error when running the "Alexa Smart Home - Discovery" test using the amazon lamda function. My function is shown in my skills on the App and i have it enabled.

The log out put shows:

Would anyone know whats causing this? I am using it in Australia could this be a possibility why it's not working? The only thing I've edited in the config file is the HA url (which I've set to my public ip address and port 8123) and the HA password - i know this is valid as I can access it via mobile and when changed the output log shows it cannot connect to the url.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The response is evidently malformed. Did you forget /api in the URL? Also try adding logging for r.text before the return to see what the response looks like.

yes you're right this was left out. But now I am getting i time out error:
{
"errorMessage": "2017-06-04T05:49:56.938Z a18e0b77-48e9-11e7-a01d-8d8b7c8884de Task timed out after 3.00 seconds"
}
Am I missing something in Home assistant?

You need to increase your Lambda function's execution time limit. Your server is not responding quickly enough.

A reboot of my server running home assistant seemed to do the trick.
Thank you!
