I have a half a dozen Alexa enabled devices, two Echos, one Dot, two Nucleus video intercoms, and a CoWatch, and take it from me; if the Jeff wants me to have more Alexas, he'll make them play together better. For a while there when I said "Alexa, turn off the lights" the whole house would ring with "OK"s. And when I said "Alexa, add milk to the shopping list." I'd get three gallons of milk. I don't use her to order from Amazon, I'm afraid to!

I've had to turn Alexa off on my intercoms, and that helped as the other devices are physically far enough apart to somewhat (but not completely) mitigate the problem.
