I’m also getting the below message at the test step - same observation as @Graffix3001
I’ve enabled Debug Logging in the App settings, but nothing appears in the IDE Log after I click “Ask Echosistant…”
(Can confirm that the Live logging is capturing Echosistant events though, because I just called my list of devices and it shows fine)
{ _ “response”: {_ _ “outputSpeech”: {_ _ “type”: “PlainText”,_ _ “text”: “There was an error. If this continues to happen, please reach out for help”_ _ },_ _ “card”: {_ _ “content”: “There was an error. If this continues to happen, please reach out for help”,_ _ “title”: “Lambda Error”,_ _ “type”: “Simple”_ _ },_ _ “shouldEndSession”: true_ _ },_ _ “sessionAttributes”: {}_
Can you please post the EchoSistant logs after your test? I assume that it might be a default value that hasn’t been activated…but that’s just a guess without some logs…
Where are you located? Could you please post the link of your ide? Both of you may be on a different shard…@Graffix3001

I’m stuck at the Service Simulator of the HallBath Profile. I’ve recreated and check the steps up to this point and I get the same error.
One unrelated (or not) point.
when I created the main and child apps. I published the main and not the children, but when I updated from Repo, I hit the Publish box and hit update which publish the rest of them. was there a better way to do this. could this have caused problem?
Do you have a profile created in the app called HallBath?
I believe it doesn’t actually ask you to create a profile in the app until after this step in the instructions, but I ran into the same problem and then realized I had not yet created my profile.
i tried with and without creating a Profile in the App. I’m also confused based on recent post it I have to add that Profile name to the LIST_OF_PROFILES in the Main Intent Skill
No LIST_OF_PROFILES slot exists in the new version. The Wiki is being updated. @bamarayne
To test a Profile, two things must happen. A Profile skill must be built and a counterpart Messaging and Control Profile matching the intent name (not the invocation phrase) must be created.
Sorry for the confusion! The Wiki document is a monster but is catching up fast…
That shouldn’t be a problem. The reason one may not want to publish both is so you don’t see the Add-on app under your SmartApps tab. IF you are using secodary accounts, it is recommended that you publish the Child apps or otherwise attempting to open a non-published add-on will throw an error…
My Messaging and Control Profile is also named Gabriel…
RULE OF THUMB with Profiles…
To run actions selected under “Select Location and Device Actions” a speaker OR a phone number must be selected on the “Send These Message Type”.
—because too many have had problems with this, next update will have the two sections hidden until a selection is made…
To control a Group (turn lights on/off, TV on/off)…devices MUST be selected on the “Create Groups and Select Devices”
To TEST a Profile, either a speaker/phone must be selected and an Action created OR a light switch must be selected under “Create Groups and Select Devices”…OR BOTH
Hope this helps!

On the Main intent, I get an error:
I have no profiles set up in the system (yet). Some of my device names have an apostrophe in them, though I’ve tried both with and without the apostrophe in the list of devices.
I’m stuck at the Service Simulator with an “There was an error.” response. Suggestions? Or just go through the process again and make sure I didn’t do something wrong?
This clarifies the wiki, but that’s what I have in skill and App.
I understand that this was to test functionality, but in the future, do I created the Profile in the App and then create the skill in Developer’s Console.

What you typed in for the test would be sent as a voice message. That does not work from the main intent. You must have a profile configured and you send test messages from that profile.
Try this in the main…
Turn on xxxxx light
