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 first 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.

Would routines help?
It may be tedious to enter them, but I think you could set up routines like: "When I say 'Turn on the lights' from the downstairs echo it turns on the downstairs lights".
Looking at routines quickly, it looks like it is doable?
