Wow, love it. Thanks. Great for shopping list. I also just used it with my Harmony, “Alexa, turn on the stereo”, “play no shoes radio on Sirius xm”.

Tried it. I swear I don't even know how I got those updated. Went to settings and there it is. I turn it on, tried it on my echo, but it does not seem to be working. It finally worked when I closed my app.

AR, the updates are automatic on mine. The updates rarely tell me they've been installed (there is another discussion related to updates and functionality issues). But I did the same thing and only set one of my Dots to use the feature and left the rest alone for now. I didn't have any need to try it right away and just set it and forgot about it, and when I went to go to bed last night, I told My Dot to Turn off Everything (the command for turning off the AV equipment in my living room) the lights stayed lit on the dot, so I just said "and turn on bedroom lights" and TOTAL SUCCESS! one of the easiest update changes I've had to make so far. However, the second command was answered and the light ring turned off, and did not allow a 3rd command, Fairly quickly... I don't know if it should or if I just wasn't paying close attention, but I don't think I could have added a 3rd command. This is one of my favorite functionality updates so far, even if I only get 2 commands in a row. It just makes it feel like the Dot understands things better... I know it doesn't, but it sure "feels" better.
