Alternate Spoken appear as additional devices?

I noticed on v3 that the alternate spoken appears as a second device to the echo. 

Is this the expected behaviouor?  Was it like this on v2?  (i don't recall seeing it on v2 but i wasn't looking very hard!)

Hi,

 

Yes, it seems like this is an Alexa issue, not anything ISY can do about. Even the Harmony alexa skill creates multiple scenes for one Device...so annoying. I hope it goes away, makes it so messy to work with.

It is not, it's like this on purpose.

 

Alexa does not have a concept of device nicknames. Therefore, if we want multiple spokens, then extra alexa devices needs to be created.
