Interested to hear if Tim has any updates. But you might check out this thread for some background.
I’ve logged a request with support, but curious if anyone else has multiple locations where they’d like to use the echo. I have two properties that each have echos and a v1 hub. Both echos are on the same amazon account and both v1 hubs are on the same SmartThings account. The issue appears to be that when linking my SmartThings account with echo in the amazon app, I can only select 1 SmartThings location and then authorize its devices for echo control.

Been quiet lately installing more Echo’s in the house along with the V2 hub. Everything is good and I am taking a more ST approach to my homes, getting rid if IP devices and replacing them with ST compatible items (Samsung SmartCams replacing DropCams, a ZWave garage door opener instead of Chamberlain’s model, etc). Anyway, I am 100% in to home automation.
As such, I re-looked at my Alexa Helper app. ST has been a bit slow in reviewing submitted apps, so I took an opportunity to update this app. One of the limitations of the platform is the inability to have more than 4 scheduled items within an app. To get around this, you must install the app multiple times. In the original Alexa Helper there were 6 slots, but only 4 that …
