Room aware no longer working

[beninsteon]

Anyone else loose the GH room aware functionality?

Since this past summer, GH was room-aware, so when I told the GH assigned to my family room to turn on the fireplace, it responded by turning the fireplace also assigned to that room.

Starting tonight, that functionality has failed and is turning on a different fireplace (both are controlled via network resource in ISY).

Anyone else having this problem? I wonder if this is on the ISY or google side. I assume it's google as I'm finding they're constantly pushing updates to my GH and chromecast devices that are full of annonying bugs.

I have not had any issues using room aware.  I tell GH to turn on/off lights when I am in a room and only lights assigned to that room turn on/off.

Yes, correct for lights it is no problem.

I have "dining table lights" assigned to a GH in "front room" and "kitchen table lights" assigned to GH in "back room". When I tell Google to "turn on table lights" it turns on the correct set depending on which GH hears the command.

However, I also have "living room fireplace" assigned to GH in "front room" and "family room fireplace" assigned to GH in "back room". For some reason these device names trip up GH and the living room fireplace is always turned on when I ask either GH to "turn on fireplace". 

This is relatively new behavior as even earlier this month the fireplaces worked just like the lights. 

@bmercier, do you have any contacts at google to submit this issue to?

I have coloured lights in my Gathering Room and my Master bedroom.

GH confuses certain  colours every time and has for at least a year for me.

Hey Google! Turn On/Off Red Bedroom lights
will turn on/off two units.....Bedroom Red Headboard and Red Lights.

For some reason certain colours do it and some don't.

I gave up and Red Lights, and Red Bedroom Lights. GH would turn on/off every light in my bedroom as well as the Red Lights in my Gathering room, so I substituted  Headboard in there instead of Lights. Google still has problems making assumptions trying to create Artificial Intelligence (guessing). 
Now I use Red Lights and Red Headboard but certain colours are assumed to be All X colour lights, while others aren't.
No room aware is used.  I can;t make GH work reliably with a single room construct.

I have contacted Google support several times only to be ignored, told they have never heard of ISY Portal, or told  to contact my provider.

I use Alexa mostly now.

Yes it doesn't like certain words and I can't figure out why.

I am also finding they're constantly pushing new software to the home devices and breaking things that have been working for ages.

I am able to have things work the way I want it by renaming "family room fireplace" and "living room fireplace" to "family fireplace" and "living fireplace".
