Alexa "groups" - can add ISY scene, but saying "Turn out lights" won't work

I've got Alexa control of many ISY devices and scenes, but recently went about creating some Groups (rooms in my case).

Purpose being so I can say "Turn out the lights" and Alexa will turn out lights assigned to that group / room and I won't have to name the lights.

So I have a particular Echo assigned to the group, and an ISY scene (which I can call specifically via Alexa, no problem) assigned to the group, but when I'm in that room and say "turn out the lights", Alexa says which one, or can't find a device called lights... or something to that effect.

For example, an ISY scene I'm trying is called "Garage lights". I can say "turn on garage lights" from any Alexa and the lights in that scene go on like you'd expect.

I can add that scene, and the Alexa I'm speaking to (the one in the garage in this case) to the Group, but when I say "turn on the lights", it doesn't work.

Must be missing something simple - thanks for any help.

EDIT: Figured it out - had to change the ISY portal settings so that Alexa sees the scene as a "light"
