#Notification to Alexa Echo Repeats Message Twice

I switched to Alexa devices from Google Home a few months ago and now I am finally getting time to switch everything over. When I try to announce on an Alexa Echo, for some reason, my TTS announcement plays twice (only one beep; it just repeats the message). I read somewhere that having ipv6 and ipv4 on might have something to do with this so I disabled ipv6 to no avail.

The code that is getting called when I set up the webUI is:

action: notify.send_message metadata: {} data: message: Hello there. target: device_id: 5ca2182f20c32ca0819d7d2e5d3bf06

Attached is a screenshot of my run action -- note that it double triggers whether I trigger it from my automation trigger or when I click the three dots and hit "run."

The device has two notify entities, so targeting the device creates two notifications... use an Entity target instead of a Device target.
