Google announces dynamic modes and toggles
Google announced the release of modes and toggles that lets users define the configurable attributes of their device that may exist outside the standard grammar for device control traits such as (On/Off or Start/Stop).
“When we initially introduced modes and toggles, we supported a whitelisted set of names and synonyms to ensure the most accurate responses and best user experience. Over time, we continued to add support based on the community’s requests, but getting these requests approved has been a common pain point for many of you,” Google wrote in a blog post.
To solve this, users now no longer have to get the names and synonyms provided in their SYNC response approved. The Google Assistant determines the necessary grammar for users to invoke these traits.
