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?

Same here except all 4 are in a ceiling fan. To turn them all on and off at the same time, I’ve named them the Fan Four.
