Renaming rooms in basement

I searched for this but didn't have much luck for this specific question. I am installing a number of Caseta dimmers in six rooms in our newly finished basement. The app has a predefined area called basement and has a number of room choices like sitting area, exercise area, etc. but as an example there is no bedroom. So, the basement bedroom is currently labeled as "game area". I would like to change the name to bedroom but if I do that, it is no longer associated with the basement. Then if I ask Google to turn off the basement lights, it turns off all lights in the basement except this one.

This seems like pretty common use case that the app should support. Is this just not possible, or am I missing something.

Thanks for any help!

Select any device in the room
Tap edit device on the popup
Tap Room Name>
Select on of the preset names or...
Scroll to the bottom and tap add room. You will be prompted to enter a name. A good option if you want to call it "Mary's Bedroom"

Randy,

Thanks. I saw the edit functionality already; but I assumed that once I did that, it wouldn't be grouped under the Basement, and Google wouldn't be able to shut it off with all the other basement lights. I set it to be basement bedroom and google still finds it OK.

Just curious, is this working because Google is smart enough to group all lights with basement in the name together, or is it something the hub is doing?

Thanks again for your help.

Dennis

It's probably a little dumb on Caseta's part. When you first added the room you assigned it to an area. Just changing the room name doesn't move it. If you want to move it to a different area you would have to delete the devices and add them to a new room in the other area.

Randy,

Thanks for your answers on both my questions!

While I'm waiting for your help, I decided to have some fun on the website spinning slots and playing online poker.

Thanks for any help!

Some systems allow devices to have multiple labels or to be part of multiple areas. See if it's possible to label the light both as "Bedroom" and as part of the "Basement" area
