To preface, I have 2 account profiles set up with the Echos in my house - let's call them [Jerry] and [George].
Without getting into it too much, I am working on some automations (routines) that get triggered externally, via SmartThings, which I have gotten to work very well. The problem is, for those to execute to, say, shuffle and play [George]'s music, that echo has to first be in [George]'s account. Otherwise a command
I know that through a routine, I can send a specific command to Alexa. So what I thought would be easy is to first 'say' "Alexa, Switch to George's Account" and if it was currently in [Jerry]'s account, it would switch to [George]'s account. It DOES this! Great! The problem is, when it is already IN [George]'s account, it switches to [Jerry]'s account, as though it doesn't matter WHO I'm saying, it just acknowledges the command to switch accounts regardless.
Any suggestion for how to ensure an echo is in a specific account/profile?
