Please can you add the UK region for the Amazon Alexa Skill/app. For some reason it is USA only. I can’t imagine that there are any big differences that would prevent it working on the UK Alexa devices, but we are locked out from even installing it.

A vote to include Europe too.

I was looking for that skill on the Alex app for ages, no wonder I couldn’t find it.

Hi @Sideeffect, @MarcoAFierro, and @Teece, thank you for your attention to this issue.
We believe your suggestion is very valuable and have submitted this request to our R&D department for feasibility analysis.
We have also urged them to provide a response as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Yes, we could really use it in UK and Europe. I might have a play when I have time of registering one of my echo dots as a USA address device perhaps using a VPN and see if I can get the skill to work, but it will be a pain having two different networks just for 1 skill.
I created a VPN network in New York and registered a USA Amazon account and linked a Echo Dot to it. I was then able to install the Bluetti Skill to my Echo, but when attempting to link it to my UK Bluetti account it errored.
I thought it might be because it needed to link to a USA Bluetti account so I made a USA Bluetti account and shared my device from my UK account using the share device option. The device was shared, however it shows as offline. It seems there is no communication allowed between European and American servers to allow for sharing between regions so unless I remove the power station from my UK account and move it to a USA account I don’t think it can work. Which makes me sad.
