Hi Casey,
Sorry for the slow reply on your thread.? I've been on the road
all day.
The way I would attack changing the ramp is to create an Alexa
routine that is triggered by a specific phrase that you define
with the customer for this.? Something close to what the Crestron
modules want but slightly different.? That phrase would turn on a
light with a bogus name like ZZZ_Light_Volume_Up that is defined
on the Alexa 2.0 modules but doesn't physically exist in the
home.? When the Crestron program detects that the voice command
has been issued because the signal on the Crestron module for that
light goes high, you can trigger code to raise the volume by the
percentage you want.?
The bogus light will show up in the Alexa app and on an Echo show
but the ZZZ will put it at the bottom of the list so the customer
doesn't have to scroll by it in a list.
I use a ton of routines triggered by unique phrases in my own
home to control devices that aren't covered by Crestron's Alexa
modules.
Hope this helps
Jay

So to circle back, I've tried the v2.0 modules and my initial
issue remains. 25% ramp of analog output if you say turn up or
raise to a generic device or light. Wish I could have one that
had a selectable value, or that did 5% or even 10% would be more
usable. Am I the only one that actually uses voice control? TBH
I have it in my house, but I haven't integrated it for a
customer yet. After initially writing modules and getting the
gogogle/ifttt integration working awesome in a couple installs,
then having that integration get discontinued, I'm not exactly
in a hurry to sell voice control, even though I do use it daily
in my house.?
?
Another issue I stumbled across, is when you update from v1.x
to v2 you need to remove all the "old" devices, or it will have
duplicates, and not let you control them.? The issue is that the
alexa webpage to do this in one shot is gone.? So now you have
to delete all devices by 4 actions in the app. So I should be up
to date in a couple more days of clicking. Or I'll just delete
the few devices I added with the new modules to test, and go
back to the old module version since it doesn't seem to do
anything the old one didn't. I see mention of using an android
app called auto clicker to delete the duplicate devices. Is this
really what the powers that be expect us to do? Crazy...?
