Hi All,
Every device (TV, DVD etc.) I add to HouseBot shows up in Google Home as a light and only allows me to turn it on or off, if I remove the Power State Property in HouseBot from the device it then disappears from Google Home.

That's just HouseBot's way to try and match up it's Devices with the devices supported by Google / Amazons voice services.

You can customize a few of the setup for a device (or set the type to 'None' to hide it from the voice service) in the Settings.../Voice Services Setup dialog off the main menu.
