Adding Networking/Wi-Fi capabilities to my smart home skill, I am able to add/select and control the network access of related network devices in the Alexa app.
I can also control, by voice, the access for all devices "Alexa, pause Wi-Fi", or any Wi-Fi groups that I have created in the app "Alexa, turn on Wi-Fi for <group_name>". However, I am not able to do so by voice when asking for a specific device name "Alexa, turn on Wi-Fi on John's Tablet".
Each time, I get error response: "Sorry, I didn't find a group or device named John's Tablet. I tried different added devices and they are all returning the same error.
Below is the discovery response for the device I was testing with:
