echo dot

How can I eliminate the use of my echo dot and just use my echo show 5 3rd gen to operate my lights

1. Change Wake word to make it unique for the devise you want to give specific verbal commands.
2. ALT: turn off audio receiver on device you don't want to communicate with.

just unplug the dot if you do not want to use it anymore.   The show can handle most things.   However, it's been my experience the show does not hear as well as the dot so if all you need it for is to operate the lights, it won't make a difference which one did it.    I have two echo devices in the living room and for me, so not matter where I am in the room or what direction I am facing, the command I give will be heard.
