@thex said in [pimatic-echo] Add support for changing dimlevel:
I am using
Alexa dimme Schlafzimmer auf 50%
I just noticed that 1% doesn’t workOk, I have testet it now a few times. But it is a little bit strange…
Alexa says allways “OK” but the most time nothing happend. But it works sometime maybe all 5 trys the lamp was dimmed how expected.
It is true, that it is not possible to dim groups?Can someone who has the Ikea Gateway and Alexa confirm this maybee @leader21 ?
-
@V1per Please explain, what groups do you mean? Groups in the Ikea gateway? These are not supported yet.
Groups in the Alexa App should be supported, but i haven’t really tested it, yet. I guess Alexa will dim every single light in the group after another. So it shouldn’t be a problem. Can anyone confirm?pimatic-hap - pimatic HomeKit bridge

I have an group in the Ikea Gateway, “On” and “Off” works over Alexa with this group. I will set an group in the Alexa App and test it with this later.
But the dimming of a single lamp works how I explaint above only sometimes.
-
Strange, with the Alexa-Group the dimming works perfect. So for me it is OK now, no idea why it not reliable works when I want to dim a single Lamp.

@V1per if you always say the same sentence and it works not every time, I guess Alexa just doesn’t understand you properly every time.
@thex dimming to 1% might not work because of a conversion error. I will look into this, but this has not the highest priority

I have look in the Alexa App what she understand, maybe sometimes you are right she understands something wrong. But mostly it is the same I sayed, so there must be somewhere an issue.

Ok, I found the problem… I had named the device “flur_kueche” Alexa understand " Flur Küche".
After renaming into “Spiegel” it works all the time.There is no error in your plugin, the error is sitting in front of the computer.

@V1per you should not name your devices with underscores or spaces. Alexa has difficulties to understand these names. Always use a single word.
