Publishing to the Marketplace

Once your Ability is working, you can publish it to the OpenHome Marketplace so anyone can install it.

Steps

  1. Test thoroughly — Make sure your Ability works in the Live Editor with different inputs, including edge cases and exit commands.

  2. Go to Abilities on app.openhome.com

  3. Select your Ability and click the publish/share option

  4. Fill in Marketplace info:

    • Name: Clear, descriptive name
    • Description: What it does in 1-2 sentences
    • Image: Upload a representative image
    • Key Features: Tag the main capabilities

  5. Publish — Your Ability will appear in the Marketplace for others to install.

Tips for a Good Listing

  • Name clearly — "Weather Checker" is better than "My Ability v2"
  • Describe the experience — "Ask for any city and get current temperature and wind speed" beats "Gets weather data"
  • Note API requirements — If users need their own API key, say so upfront
  • Test the first impression — The trigger words and greeting are the first thing users experience. Make them natural.

Linking to GitHub
