Assign devices to a ROOM in Fingapp / Fingbox

So have the ability to put the location of a device on the fing app, but this is just a unique word(s) aligned to a device. I would love to be able to assign a device to a pre-created room, much in the same way you do with Hue, smart things and tbh most other smart device apps.
In doing so you can then filter by room and group by room. It also would prevent mistakes like putting one device in the lounge and another in the living room.

Why not create a user as a room, e.g.
Not 100% perfect, but that's what I did...
I think the upshot here is more semantic: If Fing were to change "User" to "Assignee" and have add new "assignee" values of "room" and "location" (for larger locales) then this sort of change sounds significantly easier to me.
Your thoughts, @VioletChepil ?
But each device already has a location but as far as I can see it’s a ‘dumb’ location and doesn’t really serve a purpose. I don’t want to track the rooms away status as most is on all the time, but so want to be able to view and organise devices by room.
