Re: [mh] Help for Alexa Integration - Episode #2 : Xiaomi vacuum (mirobo)

You only have on and off commands with the hue emulation. But what I do is
make enough AlexaItems to map all the commands to on and off, so you would
need 3 here, the last one you can map on and off to the same command. Or a
cleaner method is to just make 5 AlexaItems, 1 for each command and map on
and off to each command so you can easily tell what each one is. Either
way, you then make a routine in the Alexa app with the commands you want to
say and map the routine action to the MH AlexaItems you made in the last
step.

I did this for my garage door so I can say open instead of on, also for my
tv volume, etc.


I considered adding some code to automatically add routines for custom
commands but I never go to it.
