I hear you. I currently have two Taps both of which are set to require the Tap button to be pressed. I have a Dot in the bathroom controlling the lights. She can turn them on/off and dim, and a routine I set up activated with the word "urinate" allows me to simply tap my bedroom Tap and say "urinate" to turn on the bedroom and bathroom lights for those nights I have to make a pee trip. I have an original Echo that is boxed up and sitting on a shelf collecting dust. I had another Dot but gifted it to my sister many months ago. Currently though, the bathroom Dot is the only one with her ears on and listening. I pity some of the sounds she hears!

Unfortunately routines can only do ON or OFF, not both. So I had to create a second routine with the word "sleep" to turn off the bedroom and bathroom lights after I get back in bed. Sometimes Amazon's developers don't seem to think through what they write into the FW.
