I'm currently working with a virtual thermostat device in the Google Home Playground(https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/develop/playground). My goal is to dynamically change the display label of the thermostat (currently set to 'Indoor') based on certain conditions or settings.
Context:
- The thermostat is a virtual device from the Google Home Playground.
- I am not using any physical devices or third-party apps.
- My objective is to have the 'Indoor' label change depending on specific settings or states.
- There are no issues with the current functionality; this is intended as an enhancement.
Questions:
- Is it possible to dynamically change the label of a virtual thermostat in the Google Home Playground? If so, how can this be achieved?
What I have tried: I've explored the standard device types and traits in the Google Smart Home documentation but found no clear method for implementing dynamic label changes in the Playground environment.
Specific Concerns:
- Understanding the limitations of the Google Home Playground regarding dynamic UI changes.
- Insights into how such changes are managed in a fully implemented smart home action, outside of the Playground environment.
I appreciate any guidance or references that can point me in the right direction. Thank you!
The 'indoor' label is hardcoded value and cannot be dynamically changed based on specific settings or states whether on a virtual or physical Nest Thermostat. It refers to the indoor temperature settings.
