My second Echo was waiting when I got home, and I set it up with minimum hassle. Just a slight confusion about which wi-fi access point my phone was connected to (my router or the Echo), which was probably my own fault for not reading the destructions correctly. I wonder if it might be easier to set it up from the web page?
It inherited all settings from the Bedroom Echo except the sounds it plays when it starts and stops listening, and the history of the music I had played in the bedroom. All lights and groups work equally well from both locations. I don't know yet if I'll have to add new lights in both profiles, or just one.
The Livingroom Echo is much better at hearing what I say because the bedroom is very much noisier with white noise from fans and the TV blaring all the time. I have to practically yell at Alexa in the bedroom, but normal conversation volume is adequate in the living room.
