It's only happened on a few occasions, but I sometimes get the "A few things share that name, which one did you want?" message. Now, I understand how this can happen if you have devices and/or scenes named similarly. However, I have ensured that every Insteon device I have has a unique name and that every scene is uniquely named as well, so that nothing is similar. That said, does anyone know what exactly the Amazon Echo/Alexa services looks at, or how it pulls in the information about your Insteon network? Is there any way to see exactly what it sees, with regard to your Insteon device/scene names? When the "few things share that name" message arises, I'd like to somehow know what the other names are that is confusing the Echo. This would really help me to troubleshoot the problem.
I'm assuming that some part of the process is creating duplicate entries, but I don't know why or how this is happening. The only way I've been able to fix it is to completely remove the device from the Insteon Hub, re-add the device, then have the Echo re-discover devices. The whole process is a bit of a pain.
Can anyone shed some insight on this? Thanks in advance,
