multi-word device names do not work reliably

[sdetweil]

i created a device called 'office monitor', and I have an existing thermostat device called 'office

when I request (thru MM) "alexa turn off office monitor", i get 'office doesn't support that'

if I delete the thermostat device 'office', then "alexa turn off office monitor" works..

help..

this creates only two devices, fake and fake device 4,

alexa turn off face device 1 (or 2 or 3 ) shows the message for fake device 4.

'use strict';

const FauxMo = require('node-fauxmo');

var dev4status = 0;

var dev4statushandler = function() {
	return dev4status;
}

var dev4handler = function(action) {
	dev4status = action;
}

let fauxMo = new FauxMo(
{
	devices: [{
		name: 'Fake Device 1',
		port: 11000,
		handler: function(action) {
			console.log('Fake Device 1:', action);
		}
	},
	{
		name: 'Fake Device 2',
		port: 11001,
		handler: function(action) {
			console.log('Fake Device 2:', action);
		}
	},
	{
		name: 'Fake Device 3',
		port: 11002,
		handler: function(action) {
			console.log('Fake Device 3:', action);
		}
	},
        {
                name: 'Fake',
                port: 11004,
                handler: function(action) {
                        console.log('Fake device:', action);
                }
        },
	{
		name: 'Fake Device 4',
		port: 11003,
		handler: function(action) {
			console.log('Fake Device 4:', action);
			dev4handler(action);
		},
		statusHandler: function(callback) {
			callback(dev4statushandler());
		}
	}
	]
});

from console (with alexa command annotation)

device 1/2/3 not discovered

Hi, I think the problem here is that you have used the ports of device 1/2/3 with my module (Thats the reason for this issue). So either you delete the devices of my module to test this or you change the ports e.g. 12000... .

[sdetweil]

ok, I 'think' what you said is that previously registered devices are tied to a port..
so I deleted all the devices from Alexa, and then did the script above again

Fake now works.
but alexa turn off 'fake device' fires on 'fake device 2'

then I went and deleted all the devices again and just ran the MM project

got these 4 devices (plus one already defined outside wemo )

restart pm2 Wemo Plug	Forget
stop pm2 Wemo Plug	Forget
office monitor Wemo Plug	Forget
refresh Wemo Plug	Forget

Office ecobee remote sensor	Forget

alexa turn off office returns 'office doesn't support that'

i deleted all devices used 11000 for MM devices, and 12000 for FAKE devices..

cant run both at the same time, as port 1900 is in use by the first started

now office monitor device will turn on, but not off... (office doesn't support that)

'alexa turn off fake device' turns off fake device 2 (not 1/3/4) so name matching is not exact

I don't know more at the time. I hope the developer of node-fauxmo can help
