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?

Thanks for the idea. At least it's something I haven't tried, yet.
I was wrong. You cannot tie a voice command to a particular device. Sorry about the mis-information. I mixed it up with Alexa saying something on a particular device.

I did talk to Amazon support, and they confirmed it.

I would still like routines (or something like routines) that is device Echo/dot dependent. I have two separate stereos that I want to control with a routine by saying "start up stereo";. I get around this now by having two different accounts.
