Alexa Wake Word: Respond only if closest device
I have an Echo in the kitchen and a Portal TV in the living room. Even when I'm sitting right next to the kitchen Echo, the Portal TV responds and takes over, which is very frustrating. I don't have the same issue with other Echo devices, which defer to the closest device. The Portal TV doesn't seem to understand how to do this.
It'd be great if you could add this function, or at least enable me to decrease sensitivity of the Portal.

I would like to change the Portal TV's wake word to something other than Alexa for this very reason. For now I have deregistered the Portal's Alexa account so it no longer has Alexa functionality.
