Modes != on/off

Apps & Services Google Assistant
1

Hi,

My thermostat have a switch item to ON/OFF the thermostat and another number item to configure the mode, but in GA binding, I have only “ga=thermostatMode” that controls everything (on/off/heat/cool/) (see: https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/traits/temperaturesetting.html and https://www.openhab.org/docs/ecosystem/google-assistant/).

How I can manage to split this, for working in GA binding?

Best Regards,

Use a proxy item that’s connected to Google Assistant, with rules to deliver the appropriate commands to your actual thermostat items.

You’ll need to account for when your thermostat is off and you switch it to “heat” or “cool” by also turning it on. You’ll also need a rule to go the other way, ensuring that the GA proxy item is synchronized.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response, can you point me to an example or documentation?
