If I ask 'Alexa, play Offshore Music Radio on Tunein' (although getting it to recognise the word offshore is a bit of a struggle!) it plays. Later I can go back and say 'Alex, play Tunein' and it responds 'Playing the last Tunein station David asked for - Offshore Music Radio'. So it does indeed remember what particular skill was invoked. 'Alexa, ask Hive to turn on living room light' can be followed with 'Alexa, dim living room light' or 'Turn off living room light' - no need to mention the Hive invocation word.
