Hi, any update on this?

kakopappa commented 5 years ago

Yes, Got rejected.

This is the response I got

One of the issues with your project is how you are having your users interact with your service. We do not want users to follow a process similar to what you’ve listed on your website. https://github.com/kakopappa/sinric/wiki/How-to-use-Google-Home. From my understanding, it appears you created a tutorial for how to allow users to create their own google action using your fulfillment. This is different from other certified virtual hubs.

Thanks,

Then I asked them will it make a difference If I remove it and applied again. No response

@kakopappa, you probably should explain to them that it is a temporary workaround. If Google approves then we no longer need to follow that instruction, right? I suggest adding a warning to that instruction, something like: "It is a temporary workaround, for beta testers only. After Google approves us we replace it with a new instruction"

I think you need to try again. How much time passed since their last response?

Hi kakopappa,

I have readed that may be you do another attempt with Sinric Pro version (https://github.com/kakopappa/sinric/issues/299#issuecomment-507930494). Are there any clue about when this Pro version will be available and how much will it cost?.

Thanks a lot kakopappa for your incredible work!!!

Best regards.

@netamego Thank you.

sorry about the GH. They rejected the action even tough I said it's for testing only. They stopped respoding to my emails after that and rejected the test request. Instead of worring about it, I thought will do a fresh start with pro version

I have been working on the Pro version day and night for some time now. I can't wait for you guys to see it. specially doorbell support :) I will post a video on facebook. Anyways, we are doing the final touches for the website, C++ SDK, Python SDK and Android app now. Amazon Alexa skill is 100% completed now and Google Home action is about 60%. I am planing to launch with Alexa support first and then send two devices to Google for approval. Hopefully by end of August website/alexa/ app will go live and end of Sep/Oct will have the GH action.

Pricing haven't decided yet. Thinking of two version free/ paid. Ideas are welcome.
