default zone preference

[bsollenb54]

Is there somewhere in the code where I can specify a specific zone for temperature change commands? My icomfort has two zones programmed into it and 'm looking to upload two instances of kate-hall's alexa-icomfort skill with different invocation names. As of right now, my commands only change the main zone, but I'd like to be able to override that in uploading a second instance of it.

Depending on the endpoint called, there will be a property zoneNumber or Zone_Number which can be set to the zone you are updating. I believe with @kate-hall's code, there is a call to get current system info first, then parameters from that response are changed (usually just the temperature) and then that body is sent back to the server. In order to get the information for the right zone, that zone number would need to be specified when making the first getSystemsInfo call. I believe Zone_Number is the correct param name. I'll do some research into how her implementation works so I can give a more definitive answer.

Thanks danielmcq! Actually, I may need to come up with a different approach then two skills with different invocation names. Since the skill type is set to "smart home skills API", I don't get to choose the invocation name....I have to call the linked device name in my utterance....I can typically handle hard-coding return functions, but I really don't know coding so this may be more involved than I thought. I logged an issue on @kate-hall's github requesting zone change capabilities. With different invocation names not being an option, If either one of you have a better idea I'm happy to help test using my multi-zone thermostat.
