Voice command for relays "Turn on" vs "Open" command

[saphotoexpress]

I'm using the Insteon garage door controller to control my gate.  I currently have to ask google to "turn on the gate" to get it to open.  Is there a way add something or change that so i can ask google to "open the gate"?

Thanks.

You can set up a routine with "open the gate" then have it actually turn on the gate device.

 

Hope this helps,

I confirm that this works well with my curtains. Benoit recently added the "open/close" syntax for Alexa directly in ISY Portal, and hopefully same will come for GH.

Second this. This will work nicely for blinds.
