Hello.
For example, I sent request as "countdown 10 seconds" and timer was created.
I got response as "10 seconds, starting now".
I checked that timer was created in Alexa.amazon.com.
So, I sent request and get response synchronously.
how to get other directives (asynch alert responses) ?
I don't get this directive.

hello,

The reason this is happening is this library does not have full support for all the directive types. Currently it only supports Speak, Play, and ExpectSpeech. But good news it it would be easy to add support to AlertStarted:

alexa-voice-service-client/alexa_client/alexa_client/helpers.py

Line 123 in 61b7276

if name == 'Speak':

elif name == 'AlertStarted':
    yield AlertStartedDirective.from_multipart(
        part, audio_attachments=audio_attachments
     )

https://developer.amazon.com/en-GB/docs/alexa/alexa-voice-service/alerts.html
https://developer.amazon.com/en-GB/docs/alexa/alexa-voice-service/alerts-overview.html

you would of course need to also add AlertStartedDirective here: https://github.com/richtier/alexa-voice-service-client/blob/master/alexa_client/alexa_client/helpers.py
