Request: Know if command comes from Alexa or Google Home

Open woody4165 opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hi

Is it possible to know if the command related to a device is requested via Alexa or via GH ?

Thanks

Can you explain your use case? To date I have actively worked to abstract the originating service (and all the differences) away from the user to make managing flows as simple as possible.

I would like to have a single device defined and have different behavior depending on who is generating the command. For example, "open gate". If the command comes from Android Auto, so GH, it has to open gate and turn on the light, if it's raised from Alexa, it has just open the gate. Now I've found a workaround, since the msg._messageId field contains one or more "-" sign if generated from Alexa and no "-" if coming from GH.

I'll add this to the next release of the nodes.
