Can you create a SSID via the controller and push to just a single AP?

I have a situation where I have a mix of 245v1 & 225v3 devices located at common location. I currently have 2 SSID's shared across all AP's on both the 2.4 & 5Ghz frequencies. However I have a few IoT devices like a wireless printer & Honeywell Thermostats that don't like to roam between AP's. When they roam, connectivity is killed on the devices as they try to bind to a specific MAC. What I need to do is create a specific SSID and ONLY add it to a single AP so that there is no roaming. Is there a way to use the controller solution and ONLY place it on a single AP without it automatically populating on all AP's in the local network? If not, can we get this as a future feature as many IoT devices are made to be stationary and only bind to a single BSSID/MAC Cannon & Honeywell are two very good examples of IoT devices designed without the intelegence to roam. I really don't want to add unmanaged AP's to the area just to allow these devices to function. It kills my whole security approach by having to introduce a standalone device just to fix the deficiency of the IoT manufacturers.
As I wrote: create a new WLAN group IoT with default ESSID and IoT ESSID. Then assign this WLAN group to the EAP(s) in question while the other EAPs are assigned the group with the default SSID only:
