Interesting idea. I note you posed the question in the LMS-lite thread
while your example commands are for MediaServer, but the principle would
be the same for both skills. At the end of the day, it's just about
shuffling JSON back and forth to/from servers and endpoints. Each
endpoint could have a particular LMS URL associated with it, which can
theoretically vary from player to player (right now, that's the same URL
for all players under the skill). Account linking would have to allow
you to specify different URLs for the various locations, which is not so
difficult. You could either choose to use unique player names across all
locations or else allow repeated names and simply prefix a location with
a unique location-name, which could be entered textually when linking.
So 'turn on bungalow bathroom' vs 'turn on villa bathroom'. The 'assume'
command would take location into account automatically.

I'll have a play with it and when I have something workable I'll send
you a beta invite.
