This has been mentioned briefly in other threads but I wanted to start a thread to focus on the topic.
How does one go about getting the Alexa Device Name added to the API so it can be used in a command dialog. Does anyone know if Amazon is planning to add it ?
The scenario is simple. With an Echo/Dot in every room in the house I want the Echo/Dot to insert it's Device Name as the default in a command. So if I am in the study and say "Alexa lights on" what comes back is "study lights on"
Of course there are circumstances where you want to turn on a different light in which case you would want to say "Alexa kitchen lights on" and override the default study Alexa device name.
We know the Alexa Device Name is being sent to the Alexa Service because it's listed in the Settings/History every time. Interested in you views......and any interim alternatives.
