Title: How to query Echo device name?
Post by: Quckdraw on December 20, 2018, 06:34:25 am: I got a couple of Echos and lost control, what is echo 1, echo 2, echo 3 …

Is there a way to query the name of an echo device?

I tried several commands (like identify, what's your name) in English and German, bot none of them worked.

Is there a skill or command that identifies the device?

Thank you Steven.
This was not understood by my German Alexa, but the translation "Alexa, wie heißt das Gerät?" finally worked.

Yes, thanks, I was about to do that when I ran into the Problem, how to identify the devices.
