Try these two things
Take the word mode out of the name.
when taking to Alexa, say, “Alexa turn on night mode switch”
When I was using switches to do this I started having the same problem.
We started having trouble with certain words when Amazon stepped up the game on the thermostat integrations, and especially after both ecobee and nest were done.
Not sure if you’ve seen it yet, but there is a new game in town for echo.
Check this out… I’ve noticed that going through this skill a lot of those reserved words aren’t causing nearly as much trouble.
Plus, you can just say, Alexa, tell home to set the mode to night.
