You click on « here » after Airtable. And you arrive on the Airtable page to register, then I can give you access.
Once you have access, you enter your device in the line marked +, the standardization is done by the information in the columns and you can also be inspired by what is already declared.
For the 2, I would say that it is used for sorting on the integration page.
For example, if you are looking for Philips Hue, there are IKEA items referenced. (I have already made the modification to the file)
For the 3, select the first column of the row. Normally, the text turns blue. Then you click on it and a pop-up appears with all the information including the creator and the changes made.
The tags are not currently used. The idea was to have a way to classify devices in different ways, both by technology and by device type. However, this is not currently used in the code.
The documentation ID corresponds to the « slug » title of the integration documentation used by the device.
Maybe possible, I don’t know enough about Airtable to answer that
Indeed!
The FR list feeds the French page, the EN list feeds the English page.
However, you should not just copy and paste the line for the EN page:
Title and descriptions must be translated into EN
Links must be the correct ones for a US audience (amazon.com instead of amazon.fr, knowing that it is not enough to change .fr to .com, you have to search for the device again. Remove the Domadoo links which are specific to France, and replace them with aliexpress or Amazon)
I am sharing here what I saw on another French smart home community. They conducted a survey among their members about the main technology they use in home automation.
As expected, Zigbee is at 55%:
This further reassures me that Zigbee is THE home automation protocol of the moment, and that it is worth fully promoting the Zigbee devices with which we are compatible!
Good evening @pierre-gilles
I started modifying the first lines of Airtable so that we directly have the product name with its number (e.g.: Sonoff S26R2ZB), to facilitate searches on the internet (am I on the wrong track?). But indeed, there is not enough space to detail the functions of some devices in the next column. We should create a link like « Buy » or « Doc », I’m thinking of « Description » where we could detail all the functions.
That’s a solution too,
I was imagining this on the integration page, that’s why I was talking about a Description button, we don’t overload the window and by clicking on Description we display the details
A quick follow-up on this topic — who would be interested in working on it?
For now we’re at 67 integrations on the French page, and 55 in English.
I’m convinced that the current compatibility list is in the hundreds of devices, even thousands thanks to Zigbee2mqtt in particular. It’s a shame that the site’s « Integrations » page is so poor!
