I am trying to come up with Alexa voice commands that are unambiguous. If I say the command "Alexa, turn off living room", she says "A few things share the name living room. Which one do you want?"
I have a feeling it is because in the Alexa app, there are several items with living room (lights, tv, etc.). But I want to go through control4. Do I change all the names in the Alexa app? Or do I come up with a different command in control4 that is unambiguous? The latter solution presents difficulty as I have to totally think of something unique. Like "Turn off monkey".
The same is true for playing music (Sirius XM). If I say "Alexa, play 80s on 8", she plays through her own speaker. So to make sure she plays 80s on 8 through e.g. our kitchen speakers, I have to say "Alexa, turn on monkey".
