How to organize multiple lights in a room and ask Assist to only switch on some of them?

[pine path]

For automations I generally use groups, entity_id or labels. But when I want to say "Turn on the lights in the office" I do not mean to turn on all of them, and I really have lots of lamps and wled strips. I mean instead only the "ceiling lights". But I don't know how verbally differentiate a ceiling light (light.office_1 and so on) to a lamp (light.office_lamp_1).
How do you do it?

I can not expose them to Assist, but that's not a solution because I may want to say "Turn on the lamps in the office" and it'll do just that.
So, except playing with the conversation_trigger, I really have no clue how to organize Assist in such way.

(And even the conversation trigger has limits: I can't build/speak more complex phrases)

could change the device class I think. When you say turn on the lights, it will issue a turn on command for anything in that area under the "light" domain

so I have LEd strips like you as well in a room, and I have them classified as a switch

so when I say turn on the lights it ignores those. but if I say turn on all the switches in that area then it would turn it on

and in some areas I have the opposite, switches connected to lights that I want treated as lights, so I reclassified them as lights 🙂
