There is no Alexa Smart Home trigger

Question

I'm following the official documentation while creating the Alexa Smart Home skill. The Create a Lambda function and add code step, point 6 is asking me to "…select the Alexa Smart Home trigger". But there is no Alexa Smart home trigger in the Triggers list. Do I do something wrong?

I just noticed this too, but quickly realized that it is not on the Ohio server. You must choose N. Virginia, EU (Ireland), or US West (Oregon).

Ok, I've found the problem. The Alexa Smart Home trigger is not available in the EU server location!

The `Alexa Smart Home` trigger is available in Ireland for English (UK), English (IN), German or French (FR) skills – Vitani Oct 09 '18 at 14:51

I don't believe this is the correct solution. I am using the US server location and I am not able to select the Alexa Smart Home trigger – mreff555 Nov 29 '18 at 05:06

I was struck on this for a while until I did realise, that smart home is available at very limited place. For example they've mentioned in the I formation section as well to select the smart home. For India, Europe. They've suggested to select Ireland. This is explicitly available in Lambda function as Smart Home Skill.
