How do you name your rooms and objects? Bed? Bedroom? Bed room?

I’m kind of struggling with natural language when referring to rooms and trying to work out the best way to handle it.

I swear it used to handle me calling a room something like “bed” and then if I said “bed room” it would understand me. However it now tries for “bedroom” and fails if I do this.

My issue: when I’m in the bedroom? I’d refer to objects as the “bed lights”. When I’m outside of it however I’d generally refer to them as “bedroom lights”. I need it to work both ways.

How have others addressed this kind of thing? For my open plan living area I’ve set up a Zone called “living room” and then two rooms called “kitchen” and “lounge” which has kinda worked in some ways, but also is having similar issues with me referring to it naturally as “the lounge” or “lounge room”.

Keen to see how we’re all attacking making it work for natural language, or if others just teach themselves to speak differently.
