Then you can tell any Echo in the house: "Alexa; turn got to the bathroom on." or "Alexa; turn go to the bathroom off."

I have several fixtures that have multiple bulbs in them, I don't want to have to tell Alexa to turn them on individually so I created a group called "Dining Room" and assigned all the bulbs in the dining room fixture to it. Now I can say "Alexa; Turn on (or off) the Dining Room" and she turns them all on (or off).
I might try creating a group then, but I'm not convinced it will work any better. Alexa tends to screw up commands about as often as she gets them correct! Its a pity that Amazon has such idiots for developers...
