Question: I use Alexa to trigger ST routines, most of the time it works fine, some days I have to trigger the sequence 3-4 times before it actually works. Each time Alexa says ok, and sometimes, some lights respond and others don't. Is there a log I can see what's going on? I'm using Sengled Smart LED bulbs, I've never seen this issue with automated routines based on schedules, it only seems to occur through the echo dots and Alexa.

I have the same configuration and I'm not seeing the problem (except for my poor pronunciation or forgetting the name of the lights). I gave Alexa the instruction "Turn on strip lights" three times and nothing happened. After I sighed and told her to "turn on the light strips" it worked fine. :)

Understand, but in my case I can tell Alexa understands me as she says ok, and some of the lights respond. Other times she says ok, and none of the lights respond. This does not occur using the ST app and manually triggering the scene.
