It would be helpful if the reality of capability presentations could be documented somewhere so we can know what is supposed to be working, what has been overlooked, and what is broken. In particular, for each capability: Is there a capability presentation for the capability? I believe some might…

These questions are completely valid, thank you for sharing. We’re constantly updating the developer documentation. [image] orangebucket: Is there a capability presentation for the capability? I believe some might be missing. Don’t make me have to look. If there is, which of dashboard state, d…

[image] TAustin: Without a presentation, I don’t see any value in even having a capability that can’t be used by routines. I was going to challenge that, but I then realised I agree with you. Much as I despise Routines and Scenes, I wouldn’t create a device that didn’t support them, even if t…
