i've got the Node-RED Alexa Home Skill Bridge working :)

however, i would like to change the units used by the thermostat functions from Celcius to Fahrenheit. could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

You can set the temperatureReading.scale field in the response to either CELSIUS or FAHRENHEIT

cool!  thanks.  how does that apply to the msg.payload=false (failure) response?

It doesn't make sense for a failure as the temperatures are not reported iirc

hardillb commented 6 years ago

If you mean the range response (for out of range values) these have to be in Celsius

sorry, would you happen to know what to ask the Echo to query a thermostat's setpoint?  it always responds with the temperature reading...  :-/

The doc covers both, for GetTemperatureReading and GetTargetTemperature.

Or do you mean how to actually ask Alexa as in what words to say?
