Separating lights

[Azazel]

Is there a way to separate these lights? 

One is called living room light and the other is called bowl light ( recently renamed to just bowl, to try and separate the lights)

I get you can name lights example, kitchen counter 1, 2, 3 and so on, in order to group them. But the 2 names here, has nothing in common except both being light bulbs.

My main issue is, since I added the bowl light, I can't just tell my Google home that is located in the leaving room, to turn on the light. It will turn on the bedroom light instead. I used to be able to just enter any room and say "turn on the light" and it will know. Now I have to specify.

Not a big deal, but it's just weird

You could put the Bowl light in a new Google Home Room by itself.

I like the command "Hey Google, Light" to turn it on and off (with a special routine)...

That's a cool command, I wish I knew that earlier. Thanks. 

But then I say "lights" while in the leaving room, the bedroom light is still the one reacting.

If another speaker is hearing you instead of the intended one you'll have to adjust the 'Hey Google Sensitivity' in Assistant Settings.

Or reposition your speakers if you can.

Haha, that was it. 

Just realized that another change I made, was swapping the Nest audio in my living room with a nest hub 2.

So I guess that the hub 2 has a higher latency. they both hear me, but the Nest audio in my bedroom reacts first. 

Thanks for the help 🙂

Ohh. And I know that Google has designed their devices to figure out which I was talking to. Like both my bedroom and kitchen speakers can hear me from the kitchen, but it's the kitchen speaker that reacts. That's why I think the Nest hub 2 has a higher latency.

You're welcome.

If only Google utilised multiple wake words like Alexa has.

Yeah,, Google is very slow with feature updates. 😕
