decimal "NUMBER" support?

Are decimal numbers supported? Trying to support something like "alexa, set sleep number 4.4" but that doesn't work. Tried as a literal too. Whole numbers on the other hand work. Any suggestions? "intent": "SleepNumber", "slots": [ { "name": "Amount", "type": "NUMBER" } ] SleepNumber set sleep number {0|Amount}

Assuming you added: SleepNumber set sleep number {4.4|Amount} right? I haven't tested non ints but I can this weekend if you haven't found a solution.

Also, i keep open: http://echo.amazon.com/#settings/dialogs to see what the number is being input as. Maybe the formatting is just weird.

Yes tried SleepNumber set sleep number {4.4|Amount} but that didn't help.

Thanks for the #settings/dialogs , that's extremely useful. hmmm, it see's it as: four point four instead of 4.4

oh yeah i forgot numbers get converted to their word types... try accepting that on your endpoint and converting back to a number, kinda sucks right now not having wildcards esp for this since you're probably going to have to have 100 of these entries.

You are talking about LITERALS right? We've set the data type as NUMBER and it passes whole numbers correctly. I'll try LITERALS again, let's see.

No luck. I don't think it's supported :(

After adding SleepNumber set sleep number {four point four|Amount} too? There must be a combo of these that work haha, if not I'll test this weekend

OMG that was it!!! I had {0.0|Amount} for the literals too, changed it to {four point four|Amount} and it works now for the literals. It does transmit the numbers literally: slots":{"Amount":{"name":"Amount","value":"seven point one"}} so we would need to convert them server side but that should be easy. Shame that {0.0|Amount} doesn't seem to work with NUMBERS instead of literals.
