Known issues

Below are the issues with DA Bridge that I know of. In most cases, these issues exist because there is no good way to solve them. Or at least not that I can think of.

Please let this be an invitation to think about it and let me know if you come up with a solution.

Also, if you think DA Bridge lacks any features, let me know. I can't promise any results, but if it's feasible, and I have the time, I will implement it.

• Thermostat devices currently show the setpoint as the current temperature. This is because Amazon does not accept state reports without it, even when the current temperature property of the device is explicitly set to be non-retrievable. Since Domoticz creates a seperate device for the thermostat and it's built-in temperature sensor, there is no (easy) way to get the actual temperature sensor value. Because I have to report something, I choose to report the setpoint as current temperature.
• When an RGB (or RGBW/RGBWW) lamp is set to a specific color from the Alexa app, the app will show this color as 'Customized' when in fact it isn't. This may be due to the fact that Domoticz uses RGB color space and Alexa uses HSB color space. This means colors need to be converted back and forth, causing rounding errors. There might also be another issue with it, I am not sure. Any input is welcome.
• Sometimes, when you try to do something that results in Domoticz returning an error, Alexa's error messages are not very discriptive, like "[device] is not responding" or "something went wrong". I may be able to improve this, but fixing/improving funtionality is currently higher on my priority list.
• DA Bridge currently does not support all possible energy dashboard devices (estimations are supported, meters are not) I'm working on that, but since the energy dashboard is not yet availabe in my region, this may take a while.
