Earshot

Establishes an 'earshot' relationship between two Amazon Echo devices in your house. Both Echos should already assume players connected to the same LMS server or an error will be returned. Note that the name you use for {Echo} should actually be the name of the Squeezebox player that the Echo in question assumes.

Explanation: If two Echos are within earshot of each other they will both hear the same spoken command but the resulting assumed-player would vary depending on which of the two Echos decided to respond. With earshot defined, if an assumed player is inactive but the assumed player for the earshot Echo is active, the active player is selected so as to give you correct and predictable behaviour. If both players are active, normal 1:1 assumption prevails.
You only need to use the command on one of the two Echos, as it automatically applies mutually. The command will also only work if both Echos already assume a player, so you must assume first.
