hello guys, first thank you for this node, it helps me a lot....
i'm trying to identify the alexa device who received the command, i'm trying to send it back an answer to that device. The message brings an IP address (it belongs to an echo device), but it is always the same ip address no matter the device who receive the order.

on: true from: "::ffff:192.168.10.231" on_off_command: true payload: "on" change_direction: 0 bri: 100 bri_normalized: 1 device_name: "Door Status" light_id: "989d852eec24e8"

thank you

Yes, it is possible to get the IP from that device that has noticed the command?

It is not possible. the "from:" address is always the first Echo device that discovers this node. It is not the Echo device that you are speaking to. This is just how Alexa system works. They always issue command from the Echo device that discover the node.
