I see there is a value in the message object for "from:" but the IP address is always the same no matter witch Echo device I speak to. A name or IP address would be handy when using the Alexa-speak node to direct the speech output to the device that was spoken to.

Agreed. I thought this would solve all my issues and i could use one flow and differentiate by source echo (IP Address).
Is it a bug or a limitation on which device first uses the device?

Getting the echo device name, serial, IP, etc... would be a game changer. It really is the missing link for room based flows. I just want to be able to say "Turn on the TV" and have the TV in the room with the echo that received the command turn on. +1

There is a fork of this repository in which the ip adress is available:

(Gen 3 detection also works with a workaround) (:
