went through all of Google Home docs and can't see how instruct vacuum to clean specific rooms with voice commands. AKA "Hey Google, clean the living room.”

This sounds like a great feature request for the platform! Feel free to file it in the public issue tracker so we can assign it to the right people to evaluate.

To do this, you must use the StartStop trait and pass in the room names to the "availableZones" attribute. Then you will receive the zone in the EXECUTE request. The phrase "vacuum the living room" maps to a StartStop command if the device type if a Vacuum.

Thank you, Nick

I thought it could be part of https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/traits/locator

Are availablezones could be any string, or there are predefined names as mode and toggle names

Available zones can be any set of names that you want, and not just limited to rooms. (Sprinkler systems may have several logical zones for different plants or parts of your lawn)

The Locator trait is for finding things.

Sending robots to places and finding them usually connected.

Zones worked fine, thank you

Thanks for providing this information. @Fleker Could you provide an example phrase for a sprinkler with target zone? I tried saying: smart sprinkler "room name".

But didn't get the zone parameter printed out in DEBUG request.
