There duplicate device warning is triggered when the plugin see's two accessories or devices with the same name. This is to let you know that you may have devices in Alexa that have the same name, so you can go into the app and change the name if required.

The device_list allow option just filters the names so that only one's that match the option to be passed for further processing. So as long as the names are the same, they pass the filter.
