        @apollon77 Es ist hier so still geworden. Geht es hier noch weiter oder ist dieser Weg eine Sackgasse?

          @mlengen In einem der letzten Dev Meetings wurde betont, dass Alias die Zukunft ist und der momentane Stand nur ein Zwischenstand ist. Was genau erwartest Du denn, was hier passieren soll?

              Ich habe mal eine Frage zum Adapter Devices, wie kann ich selbst Aliase zusätzlich anlegen ?

                Sorry for late feedback but I just found this thread. I hope it's okey that I write in english as mein deutch ist leider nicht sehr gut (ich kann aber deutch gut lesen).

                I'm thrilled to read about the enhancements in this area! This enables ioBroker to become smart 🙂

                However, I would not use the Alexa Skills as a great Taxonomy for how to implement the metadata in ioBroker. Alexa is great and very flexible, but it lacks a good structure. For example, it only specifies 15 different Device types (Skill Device Templates). Google Assistant is much better; they have currently 78 Devices types for smart home area. Apple HomeKit has 23 (Accessory types).

                Have I understood the proposed structure correctly that the Device top level will be called "Alias" and an alias then has a "Function", and below this, it will have one or more "Roles/Types" and these have different "States"?

                Could you share how those different levels map to the Taxonomy used by, for example Alexa and Google?

                Something else I would suggest is to not focus too much on Alexa and Google but use as much as possible from the already standardized and open framework from OpenConnectivity Foundation, the OCF Specification. The latest release is from July this year. They have already a huge amount of Devices types specified, 54 types for smart home and another 127 for appliances and other IoT devices. For the next level, they call it "Resource Types", they have specified 169 types. Most of the big players are members of OCF. Have you guys already looked at this spec and if so, what is your opinion about it?

                For my own benefit, I have put a table together with how I understand the used Taxonomy and how they map. I also counted all the standardized types they currently have officially documented. Please, let me know if I misunderstood something.

                Many thanks for the impressive work with ioBroker and all of the adapters!

                    Ich habe mal eine Frage zum Adapter Devices, wie kann ich selbst Aliase zusätzlich anlegen ?

                      Have I understood the proposed structure correctly that the Device top level will be called "Alias" and an alias then has a "Function", and below this, it will have one or more "Roles/Types" and these have different "States"?

                      That is not how I understood it. It is more flexible and linked to the ioBroker way to do things. Currently all aliases have an ID that starts with alias.0. That probalby will stay that way.
                      The proposed device templates are a thing of an object of type "device", i.e. it describes one physical / logical device. The devices in ioBroker usually have multiple states (which can be sensor readings or ways to control the device). Currently this is all very loose and very different for different device types / manufacturers. The idea of the device templates is to have, as an attribute of the device itself, a list of possible "functions" that such a device can have and with that create a mapping from function to existing states in ioBroker. So that an adapter that creates a visualisation or device for alexa / google home or similar can determine from the device object which states to use to control the device.

                        Isn't "Device templates" and (partly) "Alias" just a technical way how to implement the standardized metadata for a Device into ioBroker? I'm not a developer so I don't fully understand what's the best way forward on the technical level. But what I try to understand is the needs of the standardized data; What data and How will this be structured. I'm not sure what has been decided upon already and if the team still wants some feedback. What is the status?

                        Currently several of mine Adapters has structured the ioBroker Objects into "Devices" and "Channels". Devices and channels can also be tagged with metadata "Roles" and "Functions". Also, the objects for "States" can/shall be tagged with those. So already, a lot of the technical structure is implemented.

                        As I understand it, currently both Roles and Functions, however, lack details of which group of states that are mandatory as well as are optional to represent, for example, a Light. If this was standardized on all three levels; Device, Channel and State, it should be much easier to programmatically interact with other adapters for automation and visualisation.

                        An important question must be how to standardize all of those possible Device types and the required data they must include as well as suggested additional Objects/States they may have and in which formats. To use a common Taxonomy and have agreed on a Semantic model should be very important. A lot of work is already invested in the ecosystems from Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant and of course, it's a good idea to copy as much as possible from them. But as they are not complete, I think it would be even more important to use a more open and standardized data model to achieve Semantic interoperability. So far I can see, the most advanced and promising model for the Smart Home is today what OpenConnectivity Foundation can offer as part of their OCF Specification. Of course, if the Working Group Project Connected Home over IP would publish a Semantic specification it would perhaps be even greater, or? But if and when this will happen is hard to tell.

                        Regarding Semantic model, here is some example from the OCF spec of Device Types and Resource Types respectively:

If this was standardized on all three levels; Device, Channel and State, it should be much easier to programmatically interact with other adapters for automation and visualisation.

                          That is exactly the current situation, we have states in some structure of devices and channels associated with roles and they have types and flags of read/write. From all this the type-detector tries to derive a device type. This is quite brittle.
                          So I understood the proposal to add a description of the device to the device object meta data where a developer can define a device type for the device in question and which states of the device offer which functionality of the device type. So the device-object would describe which device type it is and how to control it / read data from it.

                          Of course those device templates need to be defined, collected and described somewhere. From what I understood, when there is talk about Alexa devices or Google home, then that is not exclusive but a "base set" of devices that should be somehow supported (because integration of those services currently is an important freature for iobroker). If there are definitions of device templates that are a superset of those, then it might be worth having a look.

                          From what I understood this still is a proposal and has not been decided upon (but I could be wrong there).

                            (feel free to write in German, this is still the Deutsche Abteilung 🙂 )

                            I believe that the proposed Device Templates are similar to what OCF has defined with their Device Types and the mandatory, as well as optional, Resource Types. For example, the Device Type Light that has 1 mandatory and 5 optional Resource Types. Each of them has a machine-readable template available.

                            Would be interesting to hear if @apollon77, or the other core developers, thinks this is something interesting for ioBroker or a plan is already set?

                              Hallo, ich habe Anfang Dezember 2020 mit ioBroker begonnen und seit dem einiges getestet. Den Ansatz mit den Alias finde ich sehr gut, ähnlich einer Variablentabelle, allerdings habe ich noch einige Lücken im Verständnis der Philisophie des Adapters. 😕
                              Soweit ich es bisher Verstanden habe erstellt man unter "Geräte" ein Alias Gerät (Geräte denen ich vorher schon Raum und Funktion zugeordnet hatte erscheinen automatisch in der Liste - allerdings nicht als Alias - was hat es damit auf sich wie sieht der Use case aus ?) hierbei kann man sich einen vorgefertigen Typ aussuchen.
                              neuesGeraet.png
                              Wenn man das neue Alias Gerät editiert sieht man, dass es eine vorgefertigte Struktur hat - welche sicherlich von dem zuvor gewaehlten Typ kommt.
                              GeraetBearbeiten.png
                              Leider kann man in diesem Fenster nur die Quellen zu den einzelnen Tags/Members editieren, die Struktur selbst lässt sich hier nicht ändern genauso wie andere Parameter wie z.B. eine Konvertierung des Wertes.
                              Anpassungen der Struktur (Member hinzufügen) konnte ich nur unter Objekte durchführen und dort auch nur mit manuellen Anpassungen z.B. um diesen Fehler beim Anlagen eines neuen Datenpunkt unter dem Gerät zu lösen
                              FehlerNeuerAliasDatenpunkt.png
                              erst wenn man den alias Parameter einfügt wird der Datenpunkt erkannt.
                              Parameter.png

                              Legt man nun auf diese Weise mehrere Datenpunkte an funktionieren Sie in Objekte unter alias.0 auch wunderbar. Wenn man aber jetzt ein Geräte das entsprechende Gerät editiert sind die neuen Member zwar in dargestellt aber alle sind "scheinbar" mit der gleichen Quelle verbunden --> Darstellungsproblem ?
                              gleicheQuelle.png
                              wie gesagt die Datenpunkte funktionieren.

                              Ok jetzt zu meinem Problem bzw. Verbesserungsvorschlag.
                              Die Vorgegebenen Typen finde ich gut jedoch sehe ich hier den generischen Ansatz als problematisch. Z.B. passt der Typ Jalousie von der Struktur her nicht zu meinen HomePilot20 RademacherGeräten. So wie ich das bis jetzt verstanden habe werden diese Typen Entwicklerseitig zur Verfügung gestellt ? Was im Grunde sehr gut ist da so eine gewisse Standardisierung rein kommt.

                              1. Vorschlag:
                                Der Adapterhersteller z.B. hier Homepilot20 liefert den GeräteTyp mit - er weiss am besten wie dieser auszusehen hat.

                              2. Vorschlag:
                                Der User sollte seine eigenen Typen erstellen können evtl. in einem Editor. In dem Editor können auch die Systemseitig gelieferten Typen dargestellt und verwaltet werden. Ich denke da an ein Typ --> Instanz Konzept. Das Gerät arbeitet nur mit der Instanz somit haben ich die Möglichkeit zentral den Typ zu editieren (single point of change)

                              Die Verknüpfung der Quellen mit den einzelnen Member des Gerätes muss mit jedem neuen Gerät (für jeden Member) auch neu durchgeführt werden. Man kann es etwas schneller gestalten indem man das Gerät unter Objekte als JSON exportiert und nach Anpassung wieder importiert, ist aber alles nicht sehr effektiv.
                              Beispiel: Ich habe 10 Rollos vom gleichen Hersteller somit haben alle die selbe Struktur
                              Rollos.png
                              und ein möglicher Typ "Rademacher_Rollo" hat die Parameter des Gerät ("Position"; "Action"; etc ) schon vorverbunden da diese ja bekannt sind, Somit muss ich nach anlegen eines neuen Gerätes nur noch den richtigen Pfad auswählen. Pfad.png

                              1. Vorschlag: Zweistufige Projektierung
                                Stufe Eins:
                                Zuordnen eines GeräteTyp (oder User Defined Datatyp UDT) zu dem neu erstellten Alias Gerät.
                                Stufe Zwei:
                                Verschalten des Alias Gerät mit dem Pfad des realen Geräts.

                              Vorteil ist ich muss nur noch eine Verbindung herstellen und nicht jeden einzelnen Member einzeln verbinden. Diese spart sehr viel Zeit und ist weniger Fehleranfällig.

                              Ich hoffe ich habe es einigermaßen nachvollziehbar ausgedrückt sonst bitte einfach nachfragen. Gerne kann ich das auch in Github eintragen, möchte aber erst mal ein gemeinsames Verständnis und Wording finden.

                              Gruß Bungee

                                Einfach mal über den Tellerrand geschaut:
                                Habt Ihr mittlerweile eine Roadmap zu diesem Thema oder zumindest eine allgemeine Roadmap 2021 für uns ?

                                Gefühlt wurde in letzter Zeit viel am "Haus" gestrichen und auch das Dach mit einer Solaranlage ausgestattet ("Alexa Custom Skill") und sogar eine neue Dachterrasse geplant ("Text Kommandos für Alexa" ,... ) .
                                Aber gefühlt ist erstmal die Sanierung des Kellers notwendig, sonst bricht in den nächsten Jahren das Haus zusammen.

                                Neue Anforderungen/UserStorys bzgl. Alexa-Unterstützung machen zurzeit keinen Sinn (wg. ausstehendem Update auf V3-AlexaApi).
                                Selbst für simple Grundfunktionen fehlt anscheinend das Grundgerüst (Temperatur_Steuerung/_Sensor über Alexa-App, Rolladensteuerung, usw. ).

                                Das Basement bzgl. V3-AlexaApi sollte man schnellstens mit hoher Priorität angehen.

                                  @messiahs Hi, das Thema steht immer noch auf der Roadmap. Dein Vergleich mischt ein bissl ziemlich verschiedene Dinge. Der Custom SKill existiert seid über 2 Jahren quasi "ungeändert" und textCommands in Alexa2 ist ein Adapter Feature.

                                  Aber ja, dieses Thema steht recht weit oben auf der Todo Liste ... so wie Zeit ist

                                    @apollon77 Besteht den die Chance das dieses Jahr Zeit dafür ist?
                                    Ohne Unterstützung der V3-Api fehlt einfach ein essenzieller Bestandteil bei Alexa.

                                        I added an Issue as a Feature Request for the Devices Adapter regarding enhancements in the GUI. It relates to this topic as well. I hope that the GUI for Devices, in the long run, will be as great as the rest of ioBroker. You guys are doing an amazing job with js 3.2.x and the maturity of the core features! 🙂

                                        Are the suggestions useful?

                                            Hallo,
                                            ich habe mal wieder ein Frage.
                                            Nachdem es hier ja in letzter Zeit so einige Fortschritte gab und man nun auch beim anlegen eines Devices sehen kann ob Alexa unterstützt wird habe ich das mal versucht und es klappt auch alles soweit.
                                            Nur in der Alexa App erscheint immer noch nicht z.B. bei einem Dimmer der Slider zum Einstellen der Helligkeit.
                                            Mache ich hier etwas Falsch oder wird aktuell die Alexa v3 API noch nicht unterstützt?

                                            Auf alle Fälle sieht das ganze jetzt schon deutlich besser aus, weiter so 👍
