Add more standard remote button commands to the API documentation about switchbotapi HOT 10 OPEN

Okay, the following numbers return success when sent as button name for a customised button. I have an LG TV and used Remote 2 of 10 with no customisation:-

Not API but related - Why is there no "0" button, many of the channels I watch have a 0, am I missing something? I tried to use another virtual button and learn it but it doesn't respond when I press 0

I have reported this one about 2 months ago and was told it would be added, but no idea when.

I thought maybe it was just for my LG TV, it is an odd one

Nope, it's for everything :-( There is also a problem with sending 3 digit channel numbers as the device will often get the first two and then the last one as a separate command.

I was testing the custom buttons and found that sending the command 15 sends 1, 17 sends 2........ 35 sends 0!

Late to the party :-).
I've already written a Windows desktop app to access my smart meters so it didn't take much tweaking to add in the Switchbot stuff. Whilst the API initially looked good I now realise how limited it is. I am assuming the best way is to supply feedback through the app, and possibly raise issues on here? Is there somewhere else that people discuss the API and all things Switchbot, or is this the best?

But on the topic of this thread, I can't believe there isn't any reference for the button names; ideally there would be a call to return all of the /commands supported for a device (tried and got Forbidden error) BUT surely someone must know the button names? Has anyone found ones that aren't noted in the API and can add them here, or any way of finding them?

I've added all of the buttons with numbers that work for my LG TV to my Smart Meter app, as I want the temperature data with the energy usage. It's not pretty but it's enough to test it.
I was hoping the API would give cloud data but it seems not, I've submitted a request. I run my app as a scheduled task daily to extract meter reading data; I will change this to run each daylight hour to get the temperature readings until/unless we get access to cloud data.
