Description:
After second thoughts, it was actually easy to hide specific objects from Alexa.
Objects with friendly-names starting with dollar sign '$' will not be discovered by Alexa. If they were already discovered previously, they will still continue to work.
As there are only 4 friendly names, if friendlyname-4 starts with '$', all devices after device number 4 (included) will not be discovered by Alexa.
