It would be great to be able to exclude devices from being added to Alexa.

I now have some duplicate items in Alexa and have to disable some added by Homey, but also change their names to something unrelated so Alexa doesn’t hit me with “This device is disabled”.

I would concur with this. Coming over from home assistant, where this has been standard for years, this creates a lot of unnecessary mess on the Alexa side.

it seems very few people need it but this option would be very helpful ( like in home kitty for homekit ). this complicate a lot of things
