British Gas Hive and Google Home

[RustyFJ]

Hive recently added support for Google Home and I've set it up on my phone via Google Assistant, setting up the various rooms etc. When asking Assistant to turn on and off <room name> lights, it works fine.

I was thinking of replacing my Amazon Echo with a Google Home unit because Google Assistant understands my requests a lot more often than Alexa does. But one thing is bothering me - in the Alexa app I can set up smart device groups. So I can have all of my living room lights on the living room group, hallway in the hallway group and kitchen in the kitchen group. I can also add all of the lights in all three groups into a separate 'downstairs' group so when I go to bed I don't need to issue three separate commands to turn off all the lights.

I'm struggling to set this up with Google - when I add a device to a new room (downstairs) it removes it from the other room it was already in.

Has anyone worked out a way of making Google Home behave the same way, specifically for Hive smart devices?

Thanks in advance.

strange.
I have mine set up exactly that way through Google home.
I have 3 Phillips hue lights grouped for the living room and two lifx lights grouped for the kitchen.

Might not have been clear, but I'm trying to set up the same light in two different groups/rooms. If you've been able to achieve this, how did you do it?
