A problem recently started where I need to control my garage door opener with Alexa using 'on' or 'off' commands vs 'open' and 'close'. I used to be able to say 'Alexa, close Garage Door'. Now I need to say, 'Alexa, Garage Door off'. I don't use the verbal command for the garage door that often, so not exactly sure when the problem started.
In HSTouch and on the Homeseer web interface, the status is shown as open or closed and the control values as open and close. The control values of 'on' and 'off' are associated with the status of 'open' and 'closed' (on the Status Graphics tab for the device). Anyway, as far as I know, I didn't change anything.....really.
In the new Alexa app on the iPhone, it shows the control values as 'on' and 'off'.
This seems pretty fundamental. Control values of on/off aren't appropriate for every device.
Appreciate any help. Thanks!
