    I've been updating and saving my commands.json quite a bit.

    Occasionally I've ended up with two devices with the same name and Alexa complains when I try to use it.

    The solution is easy - delete both and run discovery again. But it would be nice if did not happen.

      There's something odd going on with Alexa I think.

      I have commands with trigger "mac mute on" and max mute off"" and they are both discovered.

      Yet with "mac pitch up" and "mac pitch down" two "mac pitch" devices are discovered.

      So the 3rd word is sometimes dropped by Alexa, messing with the parameter passing complexities I was trying to fix with Smart Home

        I also have "mac playlist" and "mac playlist next" working just fine.

        But "mac pitch a" and "mac pitch b" also result in just a "mac pitch device.

        So it's pitch? Weird.

          aha - my bad!

          I had voice set to "mac pitch" for both.

          I could have sworn voice was ignored for Smart Home and trigger became the device name.
