Amazon Echo Dot 4th Generation
My Question or Issue
Hi, I've been having issues connecting to my Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen). I use it often as a speaker for Spotify along with my other Amazon devices (namely other 3rd Gen Echo Dot), and recently I've noticed that when I try using the 'Play' command through the Spotify API to start streaming on my 4th Gen, there's simply no answer.
I've checked my Amazon Alexa settings to make sure that the Spotify skill was properly linked to my account (it was), and I have also noticed that it's only when I try opening the "Connect to a device" screen on my Spotify app and leaving it open for a few seconds that my 4th Gen Echo Dot shows up and becomes available for selection. This particular behavior gives me the impression that this proccess of searching for devices "wakes" the Echo Dot up, and only then makes it available for streaming.
Again, this seems to be a problem exclusively related to the 4th Gen, as this behavior is not observable in any of my other devices (i.e the 3rd Gen Echo Dot).
