Problem in performing toggle functionality

Havanika — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 05:47:19 GMT

I have one device of type "Fan" .

While testing the toggle trait by using the synonym "Fan power, spin" we found that google home is not producing accurate results.

After checking the cloud function logs, we came to know it is performing OnOff trait functionality instead of performing toggles trait.

User command : Hey Google, switch/turn off fan power on <device name>

Google Response : Sure, Turning off the <device name>

It'll be helpful for us on resolving this issue.

Hello @Havanika ,

There can be a bunch of different reasons why you are facing this issue. Firstly, the Natural Language Understanding system at our end is getting confused between Name and Name_Synonym. Secondly, try avoiding using device names in the toggle states. You can try using different name in the synonyms from the device name. Also, you try implementing your setup using modes. The way to trigger modes is different. You can find the sample execution here.
