Wondering if there is any way to integrate device types that aren’t listed?
For example, it would be good to have a Device Type TV that can control multiple switches (for example) - On/Off and Volume Up/Down/Mute (plus maybe input etc.).
Looks like the Google API supports it, but I assume a group and ga= tag of TV won’t work?
I assume this would apply to multiple device types, not just TV (except thermostat that supports groups) where you couldn’t link multiple traits to a single item/group?
Unfortunately, users can’t add device types since this functionality is cloud-based. The developers are aware that Google adds new types all of the time, but there’s only so much they can do.
Thanks for the response. Understand - and had a look at the issue/code but think it is a bit beyond me at the minute, but happy to help when I can work it out a bit better!
There is now the device audiovideoreceiver which would be very interesting for me. Is there a good tutorial how to setup the openhab developing environment and develop existing addons? I would then try to contribute as it looks like there is a big progress in the last weeks
This was announced yesterday. I am very interested to have new traits and devices added to openHAB GA as well. After installing my self hosted copy of the openHAB GA action (and as indicated by @michikrug) I noticed it is not so simple to add additional functions. I am afraid my copy/paste skills are insufficient. More than happy to test new functions however on my self-hosted system.
I think you’d want to ask this over at GitHub, where the developers hang out. They pop in here to answer questions, but try to keep the development conversations over there.
