Using node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel (5.0.55) in a Home Assistant Node-Red add-on.  
Is there a way to list all routines exposed by Alexa to Node Red?

Use the Alexa Other node, select GET. and under WHAT? select Automation Routines. Inject to a debug node and paste the resulting data to a JSON editor to analyse.....

Thanks for the tip. I tried this but get an "Error: Invalid sequence node"  
Can you look at my flow and tell me where I went wrong?

A quick look shows an error for importing, but in any case there´s initially little to show in a flow here -

Once identified use the Alexa Routine node to execute -
