Spotify Connect API returning different device names from Alexa APi

Spotify Connect API returning different device names from Alexa APi

I am getting a different set of device names back from the Spotify endpoint https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/devices than I am for the Alexa API https://alexa.amazon.com/api/devices-v2/device

 

For example - the Spotify API returns this device:

 

"id": "cc646a13-0519-468a-b2a6-070ddabb6a33",

"is_active": false,

"is_private_session": false,

"is_restricted": false,

"name": "UpperDeck",

"type": "Speaker",

"volume_percent": 50

shows up as this device using the Alexa API

What API is Spotify using to pull the Alexa device lists on the network - and how do I force Spotify to refresh it list?

 

Note - the "UpperDeck" name for this device that Spotify has IS an old name for this same device... it was changed.

 

Thanks
