I had to dumb down my bathroom light for that to work. I originaly tried setting up a group thusly:

Group: "Bathroom"
Devices: "Bath Light" and "Bedroom Lamp"

Convenient to turn on/off those devices for middle of night trip to bathroom. But it often had issues. So I finally ended up with this:

Group: "Restroom"
Devices: "Bath" and "Lamp"

"Lamp" is only used with the one LED bulb, so no issue there. With the Group and Device names all distinctly different, I have fewer issues, although I still have a few on occasion. Trial and error, mostly error, have helped get the Group names and Device names working with fewer issues throughout my house. We have basically had to deconstruct (reverse engineer) whatever logic the Alexa designers used then formulate our own set of rules that work with their logic.
