Best answer
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.

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

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

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. ;)

@

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

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