As introduced today in version 0.56, we now have a Google Assistant actions component which can be used to control many things, but no thermostats.
Google also supports Smart Home Thermostats
, which should make it possible to control climate
devices using Google Assistant: https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/guides/thermostat and https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/traits/temperaturesetting
It should be possible to set both modes+temperatures (Google also lets users enter ranges) as well as only temperatures (when there are no modes supported, like on some Zwave climate devices), using Google Assistant.
Hi! I would love to work on this issue but would need some guidance being a beginner. Could you help me out to work on this problem @sibbl?
Thank you 馃槂
@Dheeraj1998 although I'm a software developer, Python was never my biggest friend... So please don't see me as an active developer over here ;) I'm sure there are some docs about how to start developing with HA and for this specific issue, I bet this is where most the implementation should happen: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/master/homeassistant/components/google_assistant/smart_home.py
I'm almost ready to submit a pull request for this (I need to finish writing tests and, ideally, test it for real against Google's API)
