Amazon Echo announcement limits?

Add-ons Bindings
1

Loving the excellent Amazon Echo Control binding TTS and Announcement stuff… But how many echo devices can I throw a text string at? I have been throwing “door open” to 2 devices in the house for some time… just tried to add a 3rd and can’t get it to say anything… If I swap the order then always the first 2 talk but the 3rd is silent.

Is there a limit of 2 at a time? Any way to get more devices talking? What am I missing?

I have quite a number of Echos and haven’t got this problem.

For announcements to multiple devices I created notional groups such as Upstairs, Downstairs, Bedrooms and Everywhere and I push the text to the group instead by using a rule for each group. For example:

Echo_Downstairs_TTS.sendCommand("The Washing is Done.")

rule "Echo_Downstairs_TTS"
when
    Item Echo_Downstairs_TTS changed
then
    if (Echo_Downstairs_TTS.state !== null && Echo_Downstairs_TTS.state.toString != "") {
        Echo_Craft_Room_TTS.sendCommand(Echo_Downstairs_TTS.state.toString)  
        Echo_Bedroom_TTS.sendCommand(Echo_Downstairs_TTS.state.toString)      
        Echo_Chloes_Room_TTS.sendCommand(Echo_Downstairs_TTS.state.toString) 
        Echo_Garage_TTS.sendCommand(Echo_Downstairs_TTS.state.toString)  
        Echo_Morning_Room_TTS.sendCommand(Echo_Downstairs_TTS.state.toString) 
    }
end
