I have three wled controllers (ESP8266-12). The first string is set to sync the other two and everything works great. I can get Alexa to turn on/off all three strings with a single voice command but changing the color (“alexa game room red”) will only change the first string color to red. Intrestingly, if I follow that with “Alex game room off” the other strings flash the color I wanted them to change to just prior to powering down. Any suggestions? Thanks, Lloyd ---

also… after I power off, if I say “alexa game room on” the three strings will come on and they will be the color I told alexa to make them before I powered off. It is as if the messages to the other two controller are queued but not sent and get sent upon exit ---

What i recall testing is use DDP under led preference to connect 3 MCUs to esp32 master . Alexa then worked as expected .
