"Sorry, I didn't find a device named _______"

Hello, new member here.

I'm having a problem getting Alexa to recognize a group of lights, There are 2 bulbs in a ceiling fixture. Both the Hue app and the Alexa app work fine from my phone and can turn on/off each individual light OR the group of the 2 of them. But I can't control the group with my voice (but I can turn each of them on/off individually with my voice). I've called the group "Overhead" and when I ask to turn it on/off, Alexa says "Sorry, I didn't find a device named overhead".

A search for "Alexa can't find group" returned 1 post which didn't answer my question. If this has already been answered, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
