I can use SSML in the device_traits?

Question

I want to know that SSML can be used with "name_synonym" of action.devices.Toggle or action.devices.traits.Mode.

https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/traits/modes

{ "availableModes": [{ "name": "load", "name_values": [{ "name_synonym": ["load", "size", "load size"], "lang": "en" }],

Answer 1

No, SSML cannot be used as a name_synonym. The synonyms are used to map possible words or phrases the user says to a central key. So, the user may say "load", "size", etc. and you will get "load" on the backend.

As SSML is used for speech synthesis, not speech input, it would not be feasible to have SSML as one of the possible synonyms.
