Google Home Mini issue with multiple lights in a room - solved!

[zerolife]

I have 3 lights assigned to the room "Kitchen":
- Kitchen Light
- Kitchen Counter Light
- Kitchen Table Light

Telling Google Home to turn on/turn off the "Kitchen Counter Light" or "Kitchen Table Light" works fine. However asking to turn on/off "Kitchen Light" will result in "Sorry, I don't know which kitchen light"

I suspect Google Home presumes turn on kitchen light refers to the room kitchen which has 3 lights. Is there any way to have Google Home reference the device name only, or does anyone know a better solution?

Call that one "Kitchen Main Light" maybe?

thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping there might be a way to keep the current names as it was working fine with Amazon Echo.

I have the same problem unfortunately, I was hopeful that someone had found the solution. I have two kitchen lights with similar names and with Google it turns them all at the same time.

I was able to get things working by filling out the "Voice Command" field in the device configuration with the name that I want Google Home to respond to. Leaving the field empty Google Home takes the full string of {Floor} {Room} {Device} as the device name and that screws things up

Thanks, so it looks like that you have a newer release of hs. I hope it is stable for you, I was waiting for others feedback on the other post. Thanks for the update and have a great holiday.

I found same thing out on my google home. Loving it. Few minis too eventually

The only problem with setting the voice command seems to be that the Home unit needs the Room/Floor information provided manually. When I add a Voice command to a couple basement lights and say turn off the basement lights it gets all but the ones I added voice commands to. Not a big deal if the new sync keeps the rooms associated.
