My Home/Device/edit - add deviceType custom function buttons #300

Open LazzaAU opened 4 years ago

LazzaAU commented 4 years ago

Feature - Be able to configure a pre flashed Tasmota device with Alice compatible backlog commands

I think it would be a nice feature in the "My Home" screen that once you've added a device to a room,.... when you click on the device you get the window that appears that says "search for device"..... i'm thinking perhaps in that screen as well as the "search for device" button you put a " just configure me " button ( or similar name).

The Concept Currently clicking the "search device" button goes through the entire Tasmota install process including flashing...... by clicking a "just configure me button" that process would NOT do the Tasmota flash but instead

  1. Store the new device UID etc in the database as it does now then
  2. Go through a little Q&A senario with Alice to get appropriate backlog details.. GPIO pins etc then
  3. Use that UID and name from step 1 and the details from step 2, to create a backlog.txt file which stores all the required backlog commands that a user can then copy and paste into existing Tasmota devices so that they are then Alice compatible.

This would also be helpful for those devices that can only be flashed initially with a FTDI adapter (not USB like alice requires) like my sonoff 4 channel switches :)

the sidebar is fully dynamically created for all possible device types depending on their config. Will need to extend it with dynamic function calls defined in the DeviceType classes - but sounds like a really good idea! 👍

Quick concept I'm currently working on: A skill will have to provide:

Further it will have the option to specify if a "dialog view" overly should be opened - basically a chatbot-like view, that has the normal dialogflow. It has a text input and output - this allows you to copy api-keys/tokens/secrets when alice requests them or offers them to you as an output.

can be integrated into config.vue and the custom action buttons
