I have 3 google minis and 1 Alexa Echo and an Alexa thermostat downstairs in our family room, living room, and kitchen. I have the googles spread out on opposite walls, at least 20 feet apart. If I say Hey, Google, turn off the lights to the kitchen ...

And it would be nice to group lights from different rooms. On a dark day for example when you only need a single light in each room.

If your lights are controlled through Smart Life underneath Google Home, Smart Life let's you group them. Why do other apps do this and Google cannot?

Cynthia7999

Exactly. I think we would have to name all the lights with the name downstairs first. Like downstairs kitchen 1 etc. That's crazy. You can group them with Alexa, but Google doesn't talk to Alexa so then you can only use Alexa to turn off all downstai...

Yes. Then group using the same name such as Lamp 1, Lamp 2. Put them both in the same room. Then you can use them independently too.

If you name several lights in a large room with the same name you can use the name to turn off only that name. For example, in the family room you could have 3 reading lights and 4 ceiling lights. Reading 1, Reading 2, and Reading 3 can be controlled...
