All ok, but how too use another fitbit and link a second account. We log in to main account, both of us, then im added as a family member, so now when i log in alexa asks who am i, i select second name, all done. If my wife asks who she is it replies with her name. If i ask it gives my name and says im logged in to wifes account. So Alexa is set up fine. But have enabled skill on main account and thats it. If i tell alexa to switch accounts it now says im in second account, so working great. But now second account asks fitbit questions it says my account is not linked.

We only ever login to one account, if i login to my real Amazon second account i don’t have access smart home and echo list.

So how do i switch to use my fitbit ststs
