Not sure where to start. Since last week, I was able to change channels via Alexa, now it is complaining that I need a video skill. I never understood how it would change the channels in the first place, so I'm lost on how to fix it. Is it something that I can do with this great plugin?

I have events to turn tv and surround sound on and off and to set to the local news channel in the morning, and so on. However, for voice control I use Alexa skills to more directly control the dish receiver, fire stick, and so on (via skills).
Are you really just wanting voice control, or are you wanting to add more automation than that? One of the automations that I added that I like best is an automatic sleep feature. If there are no remote control inputs and no room motion for a long enough time, an event sends a warning such as turning a cabinet light off or a noise maker on. If there is still no response, another event turns the tv, receiver, surround sound amp, and whatever else off. Of course, this does require an IR receiver device and motion sensors, as well as the Harmony Hub.
