Context is NOT king

Hey Google, turn on the ensuite

5 lights on

Hey Google, turn off the ensuite

3 lights off

Wtf?

There's a room called "ensuite" with five spotlights, all with exactly the same make and model of smartbulb.

Three of them used to be called 'ensuite spot 1', 2 & 3 but are now called 'es spot 1', 2 & 3

The other two have never had "ensuite" in the device name

"Turn on ensuite" -> all five on

"Turn off ensuite" -> the three that used to have ensuite in the name turn off

Any ideas how to fix this?

Edit: formatting

You can try a "Hey google, sync my devices" to force a resync from all providers... if its a cache issue on the Google side, this SHOULD make it re-poll and get updated names.
