Add more Items

Open DoganM95 opened this issue 4 years ago • 9 comments

The list of possible items so far is not bad, but google has added lots of possible devices of which only a fraction is implemented in openhab, listed here: https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/guides

Each item also supports multiple actions like an oven with the following actions: Cook, Modes, OnOff, StartStop, TemperatureControl, Toggles.

Could you please update the binding to include the remaining device types and their actions?

Hi. It is not as easy as just "adding" them. We will try the best to add more and more device types over time. But more different interactions also mean more implementation effort.

I would be very interested in https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/guides/audiovideoreceiver AppSelector and InputSelector looks like a good opportunity to control my enigma2 receiver or my tv by voice.

Yes, would be really good to get a TV-like item in there - It is easy enough to turn on/off the system with a switch in Google Assistant; but volume+/-, input/channel change etc. via Google would be great as well

I have started the implementation of TV - currently Volume, Channel, Input and TransportControl are working

Wow, that is great. This feature will raise this binding to a whole new/next level for me. Thanks alot for your effort.

@michikrug Any news on the TV implementation? Did you stop working on it? Is it much effort or are there any technical showstopper? Would love to see my TV controls represented as one device within the Google Home app :)

@SEQUOiA87 I paused further testing in favor of the special color light and temperature sensor implementation

But there are no issues to name so far

~~Btw. TV has no UI in Google Home app!~~ Now it seems to have one... (Edit2) You only get an On/Off switch :/

Why not make a monthly poll for openhab users to vote on what items they would like you guys to push forward on? That would be interesting, get more engagement from the community will also spark more enthusiasm.

btw @SEQUOiA87 I added a bit of documentation on the TV implementation here: https://github.com/michikrug/openhab-google-assistant/commit/3894cd550d31734e6c9f3eecc7d20c5ff05acd47#diff-52296615debf3994195e43d91c94e02bfdc615a27620e0dbc72140b3de98dde1R58

In Google Home you still only have an On/Off switch. Control by voice does support all traits.
