Device list

Recommended Posts

We are progressing well. The next iteration of the skill should bring a significant improvement in speech recognition.

 

Given that changes to the skill configuration such as the device list requires a recertification, I'm trying to refine this list before resubmitting to Amazon.

 

This time, the device list will consist of 3 components. They are what I call the predevice, device and postdevice. Any combination of those 3 components will be a valid device name. Each components are not mandatory. Any of those components, filled or not, is a valid device name, as long as it's in the right sequence (left bathroom is valid, bathroom left is not).

 

Some valid examples:

upper hallway lights

left bedroom lamp

kitchen sink light 

front door 

master 

 

So I'm looking for your feedback to enhance these lists. We can't increase them too much, so I'm looking for only real practical items that would be useful to you and subject to be common.

For now, I left all those named bedrooms as is, hoping that it helps Alexa recognizing this pattern. That was an Amazon recommendation during the first try for certification. I had tried to put 3000 names in there, but this was simply just too big.

 

Please post your suggestions in this thread.

Edit:

Hold on, I'm running into problems with 3 slots.

Theoritically that should work, but testing shows that in this scenario, it is necessary to speak at least 2 words.

 

Example:

"kitchen lights" would work (2 words in 2 slots)

"first kitchen" would work (2 words in 2 slots)

"kitchen" only is not recognized. 

 

Interestingly, "living room" and other 2-word slots work well.

 

Long story short, I may have to revert to only 2 slots, a device and postdevice. That worked well.

 

I'm in contact with Amazon on this and I will keep you posted.

I didn't see these

 

Shop or Workshop? (second vote as already posted)

Closet

Panic

Shed

Heat

Outlet

Washer

Dryer

Kitchen Counter

 

Edit:

 

Fish Tank

High Hats

 

 

If Alexa can retrieve the status/reading of a Zwave Energy Meter than Energy Meter.

Will you please give us a deadline for suggestions before you submit? Instead of 20 posts from each person we could give you some longer lists.

Just an idea

I was thinking of up to sunday inclusively.

 

However, I'm currently testing, and I'm running into another problem which might change these plans.

 

Testing shows that if I fill in 2 slots, predevice+device or device+postdevice, it works well. But if I only fill one like "kitchen", it is not recognized :-(

 

I need to get back to Amazon with this...

 

Benoit.

No problem using kitchen alone. "Alexa, ask Izzy to turn the kitchen on/off" works well. OTOH, "Alexa, ask Izzy to turn/set toe kitchen to 20%/50%," or any other % always results with. "Kitchen is set to 70%." 70% is the preset On-level.

I see so much conflicting info. I agree that saying on/off after the device works (only after I tell Alexa to open Izzy for me) but Michael told me you have to say on/off before the device in another thread.

Not sure if these are on the list as I quickly reviewed the list above: All, Sump, Fire, Laundry, Generator, Deck, Security, Motion, Hot Water Tank, Clothes, Secure, Enable, Disable, Active, Activate, Deactivate, Solar, PVR, DVR, Rotate, Turn, Restore, Default, Reset.

It would be very helpful if your lists (pre, post, device) were sorted alphabetically. You could probably use something like Excel to do that pretty quick. 

 

Also, when you find suggestions that you will include in the final list on Sunday, please add them to the list in your original post. That way there is a single, updated list that contains everything.

 

My suggestions:

 

device:

projector

screen

fountain

Here is your device list in alphabetical order. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think this is much easier to read and see if the desired devices are present.
