Return to dock possible for vacuums?

I saw in the documentation, that it is possible to use vacuums with google assistant. But I only saw that thw switch has the ga=Vacuum tag. So I guess it is to start / stop the vacuum.

Is it also already implemented to say: “Return to dock” or something similar with openhab?

Not sure if they works straight away, but would be nice if it would.

A workaround could be to define an on/off switch named dock or something, pipe it into Google assistant and create a rule that when activated the vacuum should go back to the dock.

No. So far the Vacuum is only available as a single switch. You may add your feature request to the project at Issues · openhab/openhab-google-assistant · GitHub

+1 for this feature request. As I understand from the Traits: https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/guides/vacuum

Those channels were available within Google Assistant/Google Home:
mandatory:

action.devices.traits.StartStop

recommended:

action.devices.traits.Dock
action.devices.traits.EnergyStorage
action.devices.traits.Locator
action.devices.traits.OnOff
action.devices.traits.RunCycle

So there is still something more that could be included the Openhab :slight_smile:
