Mapping Rainmaker devices/controls to Google Home and Alexa

Postby themindfactory » Wed Oct 23, 2024 10:53 pm

It seems some of the controls that are visible in Rainmaker APP do not show up in Google Home and Alexa, are there any resources out there showing what maps and what does not.

Things like dropdowns I can not get to show in Google Home.

The Alexa/GVA data model is not that flexible to allow showing any parameter. Check the standard types docs here to understand what all gets mapped to Alexa/GVA.

So I see Lightbulb esp.device.lightbulb Name, Power*, Brightness, Color Temperature, Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Light Mode

And I used the led_light example in the IDF, and it sets Saturation, yet it does not show in my Google Home APP....

Not sure then why its not showing.

I am guessing that this issue has been resolved, based on the discussions on the other thread. Google Home shows a color picker which is a combination of hue and saturation.
