why narrow it down to device type. if alexa knows where you are and you have a "train" grouped with your echo device, you should be able to say "alexa turn on the train" rather than "turn on the office train" (or whatever)

this was FOUR years ago, and we still can't give a device multiple friendly names?
I have a lamp, that by creating multiple devices in my discovery response and some fancy footwork in my skill is called -
Lounge lamp
living room lamp
front room lamp
lounge light
living room light
front room light
but having done similar with dozens of devices, my device list in the Alexa app has become a total mess and I'm in danger of hitting the 300 device limit.
it's a much better user experience to be able to use the name for something that you're used to rather than having to remember the one designated name, so I'm shocked this is still not possible
