Using HS3Pro 3.0.0.368 and Smartstick+ with 3.0.1.130
I'm sure this is a super simple issue but for some reason Alexa likes to aggravate...
I've got the standard Homeseer Skill on the Alexa app so we don't have to say "alexa tell homeseer to..." I've gotten all the devices in alexa, i say "alexa turn on the kitchen lights" and sometimes it will say OKAY and turn them on. Other times it will say "a few things share that name, which one do you want?" then I say "kitchen lights" again and it responds "sorry, i can't find kitchen lights" and does nothing. It's 50/50 which it will say, dont understand why.
So i'm looking at the CONSTRUCTING PHRASES on this page:
https://homeseer.com/amazon-alexa-integration/
even though this is for the advanced skill, but is this the same way the standard skill sees the devices?
"{Attention Phrase} {Command} {Location 2} {Location 1} {Device Name}"
For my setup I don't use "Floor", instead I use "Category" (as I have only 1 floor so the floor column is useless to me)... attached is a pic of my setup.
Is the Category the issue that is causing all of this? I went through every single item in Homeseer and un-ticked the "Voice Command" box in everything except the items with "lights on/off". So why it's saying "a few things share that name" makes absolutely no sense.
Thanks all for the help!
