Different scene behavior depending on room / location

So now I thought I might do some openHAB magic, where there is one Scene called “Ceiling” and it takes different action depending on the room.

The example I posted above would have done what you are looking to do with the lastVoiceCommand channel. The below workaround using a packet sniffer might be a way to circumvent the need for that channel to determine which last Echo device received a command.

A workaround for lastvoicecommand on AmazonEchoControl

Hello, Context My OH setup strongly relies on AmazonEchoControl LastVoiceCommand (LVC) to locate where voice commands were issued and process them smartly depending on the location. This should be handled by Alexa server side but is so erratic and time-consuming to implement in the Alexa App that I preferred to implement my own logic. I use 2 levels of proxied items which receive and forward command to items (indeed, there is also a 3rd level of functional proxy but this is not the topic here…
