Why do two smart speakers answer me at the same time in different rooms?

Our answer

Configure one speaker as preferred response device and lower the wake-word sensitivity in the more distant room.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
