- Incorrect: B3dr00m, Bed.Room, Room#1
Avoid duplicate or similar-sounding names.
- Names like bedroom, Bed Room, bed ROOM are different in text but sound the same to Google Assistant. If multiple devices share similar names, Google may control only the first one found.
Use correct spellings.
- Typos can interfere with voice recognition.
- Correct: Bedroom
- Incorrect (typo): Bedroooom
