Question

Can I name 2 plugs the same name and have alexa turn off and on at the same time?  

Answer 1

Give them different names and put them in a group. Then you say to turn on the group name. Like my bedside lamps are in a group if I want them both on, but have different names for when just one is needed.

@ziegler10 the only thing I would add to this is when naming the individual devices on @staticsa%2C/activity" class="qa-user-link">staticsa, say for example Bedside Lamp 1 and Bedside Lamp 2 to actually spell out numbers for @staticsa./activity" class="qa-user-link">staticsa. So name it “Bedside Lamp One” and “Bedside Lamp Two”. And then put them in a group called “Bedside Lamp”. If you ever want to just turn on one light from the group, @staticsa will be able to recognize One better than 1.  

Answer 2

Set @staticsa up to say goodnight or good day. She can do more than one commend at once.  

Answer 3

Routine: @staticsa, plugs on Action: set plug 1 power to on Action: set plug 2 power to on

Answer 4

Set a routine

Answer 5

No you’ll have issues because @staticsa will respond saying “I found multiple devices with the same name”

Answer 6

Create a group in @staticsa and put both devices in group.  

Answer 7

I just make a scene and have alexa control the scene. For example I can say turn off all downstairs lights and she complies like a good lil bitch. ;)

@cards - there’s something wrong with this comment that even a wink emoji can’t fix.  

Answer 8

@staticsa understands “AND”. I use it all the time. “@staticsa, turn off the TV and turn off all lights”.
