I am using multiple Smart Home devices and it's a little annoying that Alexa is not able to control the color of my Light or the Volume of my TV using smart home commands.
When will these features be implemented?

Hi there,
Thanks for posting! We don't discuss any plans about future products, services, or features. When new features are added, we will announce that on our developer blog (developer.amazon.com/blog) and here on the forums. Thanks!
If you know some Linux this is a solution. Using a Raspberry Pi (the zero w is $10) and HA-Bridge you can do it now.
If you don't know any Linux this project might be a good place to start
https://github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge
I just started playing with it yesterday. It is very powerful and once set up pretty easy to use. Alexa is going to get board with turning LEDs on and off
This has nothing to do with the features I was asking for. I was not talking about turning on/off or dimming, that already works. Using the HA-Bridge Alexa would still not be able to change colors or volume of devices with a smart home command.
These things are not possible because the necessary commands are not supported by the Smart Home Skill API like you can see here: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/smart-home-skill-api-reference
That's why I'm asking for it.
