That's the opposite of what I want. I NEED them to be tied to a specific Echo device. I already have groups that I can use from any echo in the house. But I don't WANT the living room echo to be able to turn on the bedroom lights. And I don't want my bedroom echo to be able to turn on the living room tv. I can't have a simple, concise name like "Bedroom Light" because there are multiple bedrooms with different people using using different echos to control the lights. So I either have to use "Doug's Bedroom Lights" or "Sally's Bedroom Lights" (and the people using those Echos in those rooms must refer to themselves in the third-person to turn their lights on/off), or the names must be made unwieldy to differentiate: "Upstairs Bedroom at the end of the Hall's lights" and "Downstairs Bedroom to the East of the Bathroom's Reading Lamp" (as opposed to the Reading Lamp to the left of the Sofa in the Living Room).
What I need is a way for "Bedroom Lights" to only work for the lights in Bedroom A when spoken to Echo A (located in Bedroom A). I don't want Echo B in Bedroom B to be able to control Bedroom A's "Bedroom Lights."
