TV Params not recognized by Alexa

Postby phantom8 » Sun Dec 10, 2023 7:37 am

I've add a TV device with Power, Volume & Mute params. These params work fine and can be controlled via ESP Rainmaker Android App. However, Alexa only recognized Power param. Both Volume & Mute params are not seen by Alexa. I also noticed that the header file esp_rmaker_standard_types.h doesn't contain the MACROS for Volume & Mute params. In fact, the ESP_RMAKER_PARAM_... macros defined are only a subset of what mentioned in this document "https://rainmaker.espressif.com/docs/st ... parameters". Appreciate for any help to get TV params working with Alexa. Thanks!

Here is the code snippet for the TV param

Code: Select all

  // TV Device
  device = esp_rmaker_device_create(deviceName_TV, ESP_RMAKER_DEVICE_TV, NULL);
  // Add Name Param
  esp_rmaker_device_add_param(device, esp_rmaker_name_param_create(ESP_RMAKER_DEF_NAME_PARAM, deviceName_TV));
  // Add Power Param as Primary
  esp_rmaker_param_t *power_param = esp_rmaker_param_create("Power", ESP_RMAKER_PARAM_POWER, esp_rmaker_bool(true), PROP_FLAG_READ | PROP_FLAG_WRITE);
  esp_rmaker_param_add_ui_type(power_param, ESP_RMAKER_UI_TOGGLE);
  esp_rmaker_device_add_param(device, power_param);
  esp_rmaker_device_assign_primary_param(device, power_param);
  // Add Volume Param
  esp_rmaker_param_t *volume_param = esp_rmaker_param_create("Volume", "esp.param.volume", esp_rmaker_float(5.0), PROP_FLAG_READ | PROP_FLAG_WRITE);
  esp_rmaker_param_add_ui_type(volume_param, ESP_RMAKER_UI_SLIDER);
  esp_rmaker_param_add_bounds(volume_param, esp_rmaker_float(0.0), esp_rmaker_float(20.0), esp_rmaker_float(1.0));
  esp_rmaker_device_add_param(device, volume_param);
  // Add Mute Param
  esp_rmaker_param_t *mute_param = esp_rmaker_param_create("Mute", "esp.param.mute", esp_rmaker_bool(true), PROP_FLAG_READ | PROP_FLAG_WRITE);
  esp_rmaker_param_add_ui_type(mute_param, ESP_RMAKER_UI_TOGGLE);
  esp_rmaker_device_add_param(device, mute_param);

As mentioned in the Standar device type docs, Name, Power, Media State, Media Control App Selector, Input Selector, Volume are all mandatory parameter for TV. Can you try adding these?
