How to force the speaker to control only the devices in its room

Hi folks,

I'm using multiple Google Nest Mini speakers for my different locations. Each location has multiple rooms.

Everything works fine, however there is an annoying problem.

Whenever I said something that containts the keyword "everything" like "Hey Google, turn off everything", the speaker will turn off everything in every other location.

I want to limit each speaker to control only devices in the room that it has been set up, is there any way to do that?

Thanks for reading.

You can create a new routing to start with Hey Google . Key work "everything"

 

Than the action . Is annouce  invalided command .  

 

You can add in many keyword to prevent all devices to be activated

Oh this idea is great, thanks.

Hope that Google Home would let us decide which speaker can control related devices in the future

I recommend just saying "Turn off <room name" and it should just turn off everything associated with that room.
