How does Google Home know which devices are lights?
Post Body

Is it due to the nicknames of the devices?

I have three TP-Link plugs, all three hooked up to lights. One is named Lamp, but the others do not give away that they're lights: "Tree" and "Happy" (full spectrum light).

They're all in the same room. But, when I say 'Lights On', of course only the lamp turns on. So, I have a routine to override, and toggle all three lights. But the per-device confirmation is said out loud; slow and annoying.

Anyone know any secret tips?
