“I have a TV in each room along with an Echo Dot in each room. I know I need two hubs. Question is will I have to specify the hub when issuing Alexa commands or is it smart enough to work with only the unique activity names?”

I believe u have to program it to what u want it to control
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For our apartment, the work around was to set up a seperate Harmony and Amazon account for each room so that the "Watch TV" commands would operate independently of each other and we don't have the living room TV being activated by the bedroom Dot (we also have different wake words for each Dot so they don't get confused). Once everything was set up and working, we joined the two Amazon accounts together as a family account. a bit kludgy, but it works well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unless you use a 3rd party app to manage things, the best way to do it is to set up each Hub separately as with their own Harmony accounts then link each Echo to separate Amazon accounts, then join the accounts into a household. Doing this let us set up one Harmony Hub in the bedroom and one in the living room each tied to their own Dots. Might be a little complicated, but it worked for us since my wife had her own Amazon account.
