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

 Dear Wayne
Thanks another time for your reply.
The proposed  workarounds seem  to be working as already thought of them as a possibility. Their drawback though is that using the Mobile Alexa App you still see the On and Off buttons but this not a big issue.
But the sentence " 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. " is not so well understood by me.So could you pls elaborate a bit more about this routine?
In addition checking the MH support site I found a promising solution for Alexa Voice control of higher effort/complexity published 5 years ago with no further followupMisterHouse: Home Automation with Perl / Re: [mh] MisterHouse and Echo integrationHas anyone implemented such solution to share experiences?



TIA

 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.

Hi MH-lovers!
Having solved the issues with my Alexa (grace to your great support) I have managed finally to voice control all my lights (a mixture of X10 and Insteon, I know it is old-fashion but heading soon for tasmotized Sonoffs:))
Happy after that initial success I tried to integrate to Alexa my Xiaomi Roborock S6 vacuum.For those that may not know there is a script for linux that works pretty well with various Xiaomi models and you can find it herehttps://github.com/haim0n/python-mirobo
But the issue with Alexa is that afaik AlexaBridge is allowing only ON and OFF commands, so when I put in my items.mhta line with all the command options for the Xiaomi vacuumALEXABRIDGE_ADD, AlexaItems, !_vacuum, Vacuum, run_voice_cmd, start, stop,  find, home, pauseAlexa responds only to the two first (start and stop that are linked to on and off).
So i ask you experts is there any way to make Alexa respond to all 5 commands? 
TIAGV
P.S. here is my mirobo.pl$v_vac1 = new Voice_Cmd '[start,stop,find,home,pause] vacuum';if ($state = said $v_vac1) {    speak "$state vacuum";    `mirobo $state`;}
