Voice command not controlling the right device
Voice commands fail because of device naming conflicts. Rename devices clearly (like Kitchen Light instead of Light), assign them to rooms, and use the exact device name when giving commands.
Voice assistants match your spoken words to device names stored in the app. If you have multiple devices named Light or Plug, the assistant can't tell which one you mean. Good naming includes the room and device type.
