Alexa in the Netherlands, missing skills:-(

[robert66]

Finally we can use Alexa in the Netherlands. But I can't use some skills, like Sonos and Yonomi because Alex gives me remark : You are not eligible to enable this skill due to geogpraphical restrictions. When I look at Amazone.NL I don't see any skills at all. That's probably because my country has been set to the Netherlands. Any idea what I can do to make it possible to use the skills, or do I just have wait to this skills are also available in the Netherlands?

Just set your account to amazon.com with a US address and be done with it.

Alexa is useless for local stuff in NL right now, and probably will be for some time. US has all the skills. I tried DE and UK too but US beats everything, especially if you have a spot or show as all visual stuff seems to be US-only ATM.

You can set your own address of any echo device you have so weather etc will work, just set the account address to US (use the adderess of a large company or something).
