I’m having hard time finding names for the different lights that make sense when I ask my voice assistant to control. I end up with ceiling light, but I have more than one ceiling light, and saying Living room ceiling light is a mouthful. I tried giving funny names but I keep getting confused which is which. How did you name your lights?
I primarily use groups by room and floor. Since I only ever use groups for voice, for individual lights I don’t worry about brevity. I usually describe the fixture they’re in or type of light. Like I have “Standing Lamp Top”, “standing lamp side”, “living room candle #”, “kitchen downlight #”. The only semi creative name I have is “Ziggy” for these sorta zigzaggy adjustable lamps.
I’ve got the same setup. It’s usually , e.g.,
Bedroom sconce left, or kitchen overhead 3.
It’s rare that I want to control just one bulb, so groups work for most situations, and scripts solve for specific scenarios like going to bed or watching a movie.
