Echo Speaks does not work on devices shared in a "Household" setup #151
Comments
Just wanted to add to this for more insight, ONE of my owned devices is working perfectly, and the other (also owned by my amazon account) is not working at all. I have not yet tested from scratch ensuring both are in my account mode, but my amazon account is the owner of both devices.
Unsure if related or not, just wanted to add my data point since it might be related. |
it seems my Echo were registered to my wife's account. Changed the login to hers and it started working |
Ok, what if you want to use both devices and one is registered to me and the other registered to my wife? |

About Your Setup
Hub Platform (SmartThings or Hubitat): SmartThings
How many devices are detected?: 6
iOS or Android?: Android
Mobile App Version(Not required):
App/SmartApp Version: 3.2.2.1
Device Handler/Driver Version: 3.2.2.1
Heroku Server Version: 2.3.0
Expected Behavior
Ability to use Echo speakers as output devices through SmartThings using shared "household" setup.
Current Behavior
I've tried walking through the full set of instructions twice. My Amazon account is in a family shared setup with my wife who "owns" the Echo devices. When using my account, all the devices appear in Echo Speaks. It reports zero problems during setup or in the smart app. It detects all devices and shows correct information about them including make, model, version, capabilities, etc. However, it is impossible to control any of them. All buttons tiles are black instead of red. No actions or triggers work at all. I switched it to log into Amazon with my wife's account and everything started working. There's clearly something not working properly when devices are shared among several family members in a household.

Context
Lack of actual error messages of any kind made this very difficult to debug. I simply figured it out on a hunch.
