Are you sure HA is an actual skill? Because GH takes care of all that naturally.

quote:The ecobee and plex skills on Echo are actual skills, and the commands to use them feel very natural to me. I don't have any smart lights, but I know people that do and the commands are very natural. I also don't have a GH, but I imagine the actions use language that is as natural as possible. Is your complaint that sometimes you have to use the name of a product/service in order for it to understand?

quote:What are you even talking about at this point? I take your position to be that having thousands of skills available is somehow a bad thing because something something hard to use. My point is that any given household might only need a dozen or so skills. So it's not like you have to remember some arcane command or obscure skill name in order to do anything. Instead, you just use natural language to say what you want to happen.quote:Another reason people don't really use them.
