One piece of advice I would give is, if you add any device that requires it's own app to be installed to your phone before Alexa/skills will access it make sure you whitelist the app (uncheck the remove permissions if app is unused) as Android (I don't know about Apple) can put apps not used to sleep and remove all it's permissions and it will suddenly stop working and you will have no idea why until you check the app's permissions section.
