Error report for execution and query intent in the test suite of the google action

Question

Our project passed “Turn on” execution and query in the test suite of the google action. But “Turn off” execution and query failed and I couldn’t find in our part. After “Turn off” execution, I responded “false” for “on” attribute but error report was shown - actual state: {"on":true,"online":true}. Below is the exchanged data and the error report.

Google action request for execution: {"inputs":[{"context":{"locale_country":"US","locale_language":"en"},"intent":"action.devices.EXECUTE","payload":{"commands":[{"devices":[{"id":"eg_cam_87901"}],"execution":[{"command":"action.devices.commands.OnOff","params":{"on":false}}]}]}}],"requestId":"960820806239759768"}

Our Response for execution: {"requestId":"960820806239759768","payload":{"commands":[{"ids":["eg_cam_87901"],"status":"SUCCESS","state":{"online":false,"on":false,"currentToggleSettings":null}}]}}

Google action error report Turn off the bedroom AssertionError: Expected state to include: {"on":false}, actual state: {"on":true,"online":true}: expected false to be true

Google action request for query: {"inputs":[{"intent":"action.devices.QUERY","payload":{"devices":[{"id":"eg_cam_87901"}]}}],"requestId":"4409204964431192716"}

Our Response for query: {"requestId":"4409204964431192716","payload":{"devices":{"eg_cam_87901":{"online":false,"status":"SUCCESS","on":false,"currentToggleSettings":null}}}}

Answer 1

You've got a couple issues here.

First, you need to verify that your sync response includes the appropriate device attributes - your execution/query responses both return NULL for your currentToggleSettings instead of the string of the availableToggles in your sync response. If you are just using OnOff for your device, you don't actually even need to implement any of the Toggle trait features. Again, verify what is in your initial sync response.

Second, you're returning online: false as well as on:false, which is why you're getting the following error:

Error: the string "Error from HA: deviceOffline" was thrown

online:false should only be used when you intend to return the TTS response of "the device is not available right now" when a user issues a command/query, and when the device cannot be controlled. This should also include status:ERRROR in your response. You can read more about handling errors and exceptions in the docs.

Returning online:true, on:false or online:true, on:true when responding to an execute/query request should fix the deviceOffline error.
