My use of "Squeezebox" ahead of each device name was intended to allow Alexa to differentiate these units from Hue lights and iDevices switches and sockets in some of the same locations -- said devices now operated with location-based names set up in Alexa.
If the term "Squeezebox" will be used to activate these devices, then it can safely be removed from each of my named units to avoid an awkward redundancy. Easy enough for me to do, -and I will do that-. The word "Squeezebox" seems a good choice for skill invocation, btw -- it is clearly unique and I would guess unlikely to trigger anything else accidentally. meep wrote: > > > Interested in your device naming - is the word 'squeezebox' actually > included in the device name? > > I ask because there's a discussion at the moment as to what the skill > invocation name should be.
