Announcing Dynamic Modes and Toggles
Blog post from Google Cloud
Google has announced an enhancement to its smart home ecosystem by introducing dynamic modes and toggles, which allow developers to define customizable attributes for devices beyond standard commands like On/Off or Start/Stop. Initially, these features required approval for specific names and synonyms, but the new update enables Google Assistant to dynamically determine the necessary language, streamlining the process and improving user experience. Developers can now create more personalized device settings, such as custom cooking modes for an oven, without needing prior approval for the terminology used. The update encourages developers to explore the expanded capabilities and share their projects and feedback via social media and forums like Reddit.
