Alexa and Nest

    Evening guys.

    I had one Nest in the kitchen that controlled the heating zone 1 and hot water. Alexa always controlled this without issue.
    Yesterday I got two more Nests installed. One in the Living Room and one in the Bedroom. Now Alexa won’t control any via voice commands.

    When I ask her to set the temp in the Kitchen, she says “Kitchen doesn’t support that”.

    When I ask her to turn on the heating, she says “I found 3 thermostats on this account”.

    All Nests still work through the Alexa and Nest apps without issue, it’s only the voice is messed up.

    I removed them from the Alexa app, and removed the skill, and she found 3 new devices when I reinstalled them.

    Genuinely at a loss.

    Turns out technology is only as clever as the idiot using it.

    I had routines set up for my lamps that were the same names as the thermostats.
    Renamed the routines, and everything's happy.

    Lesson learned.
