When should we create new intent in wit.ai

Question

When should I create new intent and when should I add new value to the existing intent ? In wit.ai documents, they didn't talk much about this.

EDIT: Let says I have command for a door. So is it better to have 1 intent door_command with values open_door, close_door, or have 2 intents open_door and close_door.

Do you have examples of what you are asking? – Bcf Ant Oct 14 '16 at 06:16 — Bcf Ant, Oct 14 '16 at 06:16

One intent should do for your case as it is a toggle.

so if it has 4, 5 values, is it still ok ? – Nguyen Quang Anh Oct 14 '16 at 08:01
If the intent relates to the door then keep the same. open_door, close_door, halfwayopen_door. Create a new intent if something else like open_window, close_window – Bcf Ant Oct 14 '16 at 08:50
