Yes on most current update. Ok. Just tried this/. Created a simulated switch in ide. Called it kitchen lock. If I say turn kitchen lock on it will turn that switch on. Then in room manager set up I edited the preferences for locked to react to the simulated switch. When it turns on the state in the kitchen room changes to locked, when I turn off it changed to checking, then vacant.
If that helps at all
With the above workaround. If you open the rooms manager to locks, instead of only switches, I could make a virtual lock ad]s the trigger. Then say ok google lock stuff and it would turn a virtual lock called stuff to lock or unlock the room…
Just a thought
So I need to create the virtual switch for this to work? Correct and then say turn on or off ?
its not an workaround though. 
if in locked settings a locked switch is specified the room will change to locked state when that switch is turned on.
in that latest version it does support the lock capability. if you check any of the room device with webcore it should show the device lock command.
unfortunately since home or alexa neither support the lock command directly either have to create a routine to trigger the lock command or add a locked virtual switch in the locked settings and turn on that virtual switch to set room to locked.
Got it, thank you. Now to figure out a naming convention to distinguish between the kitchen room and the kitchen virtual switch, so that it is intuitive to say to google… first world problems ]. I tell ya
Ahhh, figured it out. In google home you can do shortcuts.
When I say lock kitchen,
Then do
Turn on kitchen lock switch.
Sweeeeet!!!
Please correct me if I am wrong. The locked states keeps the occupied state from turning off, thus cancelling rules also?
Are the custom device handlers not accessible right now for you, I keep getting a internal server error. It just seems that way with my ones that are using a github repository?
Is anyone else having issues with the rooms not working after updating from repo? I know there was some problems with ST and the GitHub repo. I was able to update my apps tonight, but now nothing is functioning.
looks like the GitHub issue was resolved at 10pm EST. have you tried running another update from repo for the DTH and both smartapps then checking if all works normally?
for the DTH and both smartapps from the IDE go in to EDIT and then publish them. if that does not help we can try forcing an update from the repo.
Going into Edit and publishing had no effect unfortunately. How would I force the update?
sorry didnt get a notification that there was a response.
easiest way to force it is edit the DTH and both smartapps in the IDE and comment out a line. then update from repo for DTH and smartapps … it should show you there is a conflict … from there save and publish all.
made some good progress on the device tiles updates. there are still a few cleanups. more verbose hopefully easier to read for all but specially for new users. hoping to get this out tomorrow.
UPDATE: updated version 0.14.0 to github with the following changes:
* Version: 0.14.0
*
* DONE: 2/25/2018
* 1) update device tiles to be more verbose.
