Amazon Echo Skill with Hub Mesh--any issues?

🛎️ Get Help Apps

I just set up a second hub in my workshop. The workshop has a an Echo Dot on each floor.

I got to thinking about whether the Echo Skill is "smart" enough to use the correct hub to control zwave devices and whether having two hubs might cause an issue.

Should I install the app on just one of the hubs and add the linked device to the Echo skill? Or, set up the Echo Skill on both hubs and add it on the hub where it is a local device?

You can only link the Alexa skill to a single hub, so unless you were planning on some trickery there, Hub Mesh via a single hub is the only option -- and should work just fine.

Thanks!

(Seems to be working fine so far)
