Device Dependent Routines
« on: July 18, 2018, 12:59:10 am »
Does anyone know if it is possible to trigger different routines/ devices depending on the Alexa device that registered the request? For example, when the dot in my bedroom hears "turn on the tv" I would like it to perform a different routine than when the dot in my living room hears the same command.

I am setting up a fairly large house and the length of commands I've had to resort to is getting unruly :-/

Instead of routines, you put the Alexa device and the device you want it to control into a Group. Put the bedroom alexa and the bedroom tv in a group. When you are using a different Echo, you would say "Turn on the bedroom light". When you are using the bedroom alexa, you just have to say "Turn on the light"
