Utterance parsing base on device name.

This specifically relates to the "Connected Home" features on the Echo. Basically, if you have more than one echo you should be able to create groups prepended with the device name. Example: *Device A name: Living room *Device B name: Bedroom Group A name: Living room lights Group B name: Living room curtains Group C name: Bedroom light Utterances made to Alexa which are picked up by a particular Echo should attempt to prepend the device name to the detected group if the explicit group name is not found. Example: "Alexa, turn on the lights" uttered to Device A (Living room) should trigger the "Living room lights" group. "Alexa, turn on the lights" uttered to Device B (Bedroom) should trigger the "Bedroom lights" group. SO on, so forth...

I agree with the need, but I like the idea better of having a "device ID" sent to your skill as well as a user-id. Then each skill could choose how to do this sort of thing. Allows for invention and competition between skill developers.

You're right, I like your implementation better, it is a lot more scalable.
