gah, what the heck is wrong with that woman's head on the homepage. Nightmare fuel.
Definitely going to give this a try over the weekend. I bailed pretty quick a few months ago when I wanted to build a spelling bee skill for Alexa in Python. It was a total joke--terrible docs, cumbersome API and just simply not fun. Hoping this is a step in the right direction.
And the Smart Home skill APIs are very different from the normal skills, so most of the tutorials that are available don't help much.
Lambda is required as a back-end for Smart Home skills, but must still be set up manually which means copying and pasting things back and forth between completely unrelated management interfaces, some on AWS, some on Amazon Developer Services.
User authentication is required for Smart Home skills, but after checking the configuration very carefully and still seeing the auth step fail in the Alexa app even though the OAUTH calls succeeded, with little to no visibility into why it failed, I stopped wasting time on it.

oh i guess i didn't explain my use case enough... i'll deploy to lambda, but then i want lambda to ask about or control things around my house
Not sure if I understand what you're after, but AWS offers private API Gateway's now
For ?? I've tried just making the lambda directly connect to an open port, but this requires me to open the router to quite a large range since lambdas don't have static IPs.
I'd like a VPN in ?? I have that for my phone.
As I dig into VPC and such it seems like it almost requires an EC2 endpoint for me to VPN into from my network which will NAT the request?
I'd like to not have to pay for an EC2 instance.

Once you have your lambda running inside a VPC, you can assign an elastic IP to the VPC. You don't need an EC2 instance, but you will need a NAT gateway, which is billed at similar levels to a small EC2 instance anyway.
