"Alexa turn on aircon" - "It is in cooling mode"

logon84 opened this issue · comments

Describe the bug
It's been 2/3 days since I am unable to start aircon telling alexa. Every time I say to her I want to start aircon, she replies it is in cooling mode. It's not that Alexa tells me my actual working mode, but it in fact switches my working mode from HEAT to COOLING.

To Reproduce
"Alexa turn on aircon" - "It is in cooling mode" ||| "Alexa enciende el aire" - "Está en modo enfriamiento"

Expected behavior
"Alexa turn on aircon" --> aircon starts operating.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

Have you sent the thermostat mode as a state update to Node RED Smart Home Control? See: https://docs.cb-net.co.uk/en/development/state-reporting.html#state-payload-reference

If the mode last sent to the service is 'COOL' that is what will be forwarded on to Alexa/ Google Home, the service itself doesn't change the mode.

Hi. The thing is that, I can see thru a debug node (msg.command) connected to alexa--smart-home v3 node that when saying "turn on aircon", the debug node shows SetThermostatMode command only, so it doesn't turn on. I don't know, I talk in spanish to Alexa, maybe is a language issue....But I tried different ways of telling to turn On and I always get the SetThermostatMode command. It is strange because the same setup has been working perfectly for two years now until 3 days ago.

EDIT: upsss sorry, this issue is in the wrong repo, I thought I was at node-red-alexa-home-skill-v3 repo.
