Echo Music Playback Issues and Zigbee Switch Concerns

Hey everyone, I’m reaching out to share some experiences and seek advice regarding my smart home setup. I recently upgraded my Echo Dot, and while I’m excited about the new features, I’ve encountered some unexpected issues with music playback. When I ask it to play a specific song by an artist, it often shuffles in songs from other artists, which wasn’t a problem with my older Echo. Additionally, it sometimes continues playing music even after I’ve asked it to stop. Has anyone else experienced this, or do you know of a fix? I’d love to get back to the seamless experience I had before.

Another area I’m exploring is Zigbee range extenders. I’ve been using Leviton Z-Wave dimmers throughout my house without issues, but as I add more Zigbee sensors, I’m noticing connectivity problems upstairs. I’m considering the Leviton DG15S-1BW or the Enbrighten/GE/Jasco 43076 switches. The Leviton seems perfect for my bath fans, but I’m unsure if it acts as a Zigbee range extender. The Enbrighten explicitly states it extends the Zigbee signal, which is crucial for my setup. If anyone has experience with either, I’d appreciate your insights!

Lastly, I wanted to share my success with Govee lights. They’ve transformed my gaming room, and I’m thrilled with their performance. I’d love to hear about others’ experiences with Govee products or any tips for enhancing smart lighting setups.

Thank you all for your help and for sharing your expertise. It’s amazing to be part of such a supportive community!
