i think in some cases its useful to rename devices to a other name as the device name within pimatic and group them by seperate id
"devices": [
{
"id": "switch",
"class": "DummySwitch",
"name": "Workroom Switch",
"echo": {
"name": "Light",
"room": "Workroom"
}
}
]
so alexa could handle something like:
"alexa, turn [name] in the [room] on"
or
"alexa, turn all in the [room] on"
or
"alexa, turn in the [room] the [name] on"

Setting the room is currently not possible. You have to name your devices more unique. But you could also name your device "[name] in the [room]".
I'm leaving this issue open, as the name override is a neat feature.
