More generic slots that should eb available on all intents but would require more developement

[thrhymes]

What i miss in Alexa/Echo and others is more built in complexity for intents...

All Intents should have slots like "at", "on", "in", "for" and "until", or even "if", or "triggered by"
If the single intent then defines his own "at"-slot, that would overwrite the inherited class...

I understand these would trigger the impromptu creation of automations, that would have to expire and be deleted after completion..
But would that not be a real step forward?

• "at time" ... "at 10:30" ... Do the thing at a certain time

• "on day|week|weekend|date" ... Do the thing on a certain day ... can be combined with "at" or is done on the next occurence of the day at the time of invoking the command

• "in timespan" ... Do the thing ..."in 1 hour, 10 minutes and 25 seconds"

• "for duration then action"... "for 3 minutes" ... Do the thing for a certain time, then invoke the opposite command... toggle should toggle back, if you turn something on, turn it off then
  -- "open the blinds for 30 minutes" ... opens the blinds and then closes them as "closing" is the opposite action
  -- "open the blinds for 30 minutes then set to 30%" ... opens the blinds fully and after x minutes reduces them to 30%

• "until time|condition" ... Do the thing until a certain condition is met ...
  -- "until tomorrow"
  -- "until midnight"
  -- "until the waterpump is turned on"
  -- "until the living room temperature is greater than 15°C"

• "if condition and condition or condition" ... Do the thing if a condition is met
  -- "open the blinds if Peter is at home and Thom is not at home"

• "triggered by condition" ... do the Thing the next time a trigger-criteria is met "Switch the light on triggered by Sunset"

"Turn on the Radio on Monday at 6:30 for 15 Minutes if i am home".... This would be a Dream!!

...would open a can of worms trying to prank you and set various stuff to happen in the future, without you even knowing why things happen...

A simple "Todo"-Card showing those to display on the Dash-board makes pranking impossible.... maybe with a button to stop/delete/delay ... oh, the things i am dreaming of ;)
