Funny you should mention that…
I’m trying to get the Velbus thermostat working with Google metadata
Current Temperature is okay
But Target Temperature only works when I don’t try to get the Mode mapped.
I can change the mode with the Google assistant, but the commands always get sent to the Item as the Google options, rather than the mapping I’m trying to do
This is what I am trying
// New Google Assistant Metadata tagging (I'm still experimenting with)
Group MiddleBedroomGP2_Thermostat "Middle Bedroom" { ga="Thermostat" [roomHint="Middle Bedroom"], alexa="Endpoint.Thermostat" }
Number MiddleBedroomGP2_CurrentTemperature "Middle Bedroom Current Temperature" ( MiddleBedroomGP2_Thermostat ,WholeHouse_CurrentTemperature ) { channel="velbus:vmbgp2:VelbusNetworkBridge:17:input#CH9", ga="thermostatTemperatureAmbient" , alexa="TemperatureSensor.temperature" }
Number MiddleBedroomGP2_CurrentTargetTemperature "Middle Bedroom Current Target Temperature" ( MiddleBedroomGP2_Thermostat ,WholeHouse_CurrentTargetTemperature ) { channel="velbus:vmbgp2:VelbusNetworkBridge:17:thermostat#CURRENTTEMPERATURESETPOINT", ga="thermostatTemperatureSetpoint", alexa="ThermostatController.targetSetpoint"}
String MiddleBedroomGP2_ThermostatMode "Middle Bedroom Thermostat mode" ( MiddleBedroomGP2_Thermostat ) { channel="velbus:vmbgp2:VelbusNetworkBridge:17:thermostat#MODE", ga="thermostatMode" [ modes="off=SAFE,eco=NIGHT,on=DAY,heat=COMFORT" , lang="en" , ordered=true ] , alexa="ModeController.mode" [friendlyNames="@Setting.Preset", supportedModes="SAFE=Safe,NIGHT=Night,DAY=Day,COMFORT=Comfort"]}
String MiddleBedroomGP2_ThermostatOperatingMode "Middle Bedroom Thermostat operating mode" ( MiddleBedroomGP2_Thermostat ) { channel="velbus:vmbgp2:VelbusNetworkBridge:17:thermostat#OPERATINGMODE" , alexa="ThermostatController.thermostatMode" [COOL="COOLING",HEAT="HEATING"] }
And this is what I’m seeing in the Events.log when I try to set a mode in Google
2020-03-26 14:41:23.265 [nt.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - MiddleBedroomGP2_ThermostatMode predicted to become heat // This should have been mapped to COMFORT

Can either of your gentlemen provide any clarification on if this is even possible or what the correct syntax should be?
I’ve tried to follow these instruction to the letter
Should the mode mapping be places in the Themostat group Item as suggested?
Or with the Thermostat Mode String item?
(I’ve tried both, with the mapping in various forms)
We / I am so close to having a complete solution that it’s getting really frustrating…
What’s really curious is that openHAB2 is obviously sharing the current mode with Google, because shortly after sending the mode command to openHAB2, Google rolls back to “Other” mode
