Other than using multiple Amazon accounts (or switching profiles), has anyone come up with a workaround to limit the devices that are accessible to any one echo device in a multi-echo home? Without such a feature, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to come up with unique names for devices that are simple to recall and handy enough to use effectively. Having to say, "Alexa, turn on the ceiling fan in the upstairs guest room," or "Turn on the basement TV (as opposed to the two different bedroom TVs), or turn on the endtable-lamp-on-the-left-side-of-the-living-room-sofa is just bit tedious.

Ideally, I'd love to be able to say, "Alexa turn on the lights" and have it work only for "the lights" that have been assigned to that unit. Having to refer to yourself in the third person ("Alexa, turn off Doug's bedroom light") when you have multiple bedrooms with multiple people using multiple echos registered to the same Amazon account) is a bit weird.
