Homekit dimmer switches

Got it, thanks. I, too have not received any responses to my posts in this thread.

Will continue to keep an eye on it.

Having the exact same problem " The problem seems to be limited to Siri voice commands with dimmer values... the dimmer value does not pass to Habitat". This issue showed up all of a sudden, I think it was right after I did a Hubitat software update. I have done several more updates since hoping to fix it (now at version v2.4.0.151). I rely on the HomeKit Integration for control, and it has been working fine for several years now. I made no change in my setup. Looking for any help...

Same issue here. If I control a dimmer in the Home app it works fine. Using voice commands with Siri, nothing happens. This seems to have just started happening in the last few weeks.

Can confirm the logs show that Hubitat received a command but the percentage shown as requested is just whatever the device is currently on. In the below I asked it to set my Living Room lamps to 1%.

Confirming that I am seeing these same issues with real (not virtual) dimming devices. Hoping a fix is forthcoming from Hubitat (even though I suspect it may be something from one of the iOS releases)

Has anyone received feedback on a solution in the works?

Nothing. It would be great if someone could at least confirm it’s being looked into. I have HomePods in most rooms in my house and can’t dim anything.

Been watching this for a while, the work around I've been using is using the Home app to set the levels (as @danieldmendoza mentioned). None of my scenes work as expected anymore.

Is there anything we can do to upvote this issue or get more attention to it?

Yes. If this does not get resolved soon, I am going to have to abandon Habitat. I control everything through HomeKit voice commands.

I have been using the homebridge tonesto plugin instead for the time being. If you're not already running homebridge you might be SOL until its fixed

Any news on this? having the same issue. works fine with the HomeKit app in iPhone / Mac but when asking Siri to dim the lights it doesn't seem to work. it looks like from the log anyway, that the physical switch value overrides the digital value. These are Lutron dimmers going thru the Lutron app in Hubitat btw.

something sets it back to 50 %

Just got my hubitat today. Was pretty happy until I realized this was a problem. Can’t dim via Siri. We really need an update on this. If this doesn’t have a planned fix it’s probably going back. :frowning:

This was working until recently. I would just like an acknowledgment that someone is looking into it at this point. Getting ready to shift all my dimmers to pass through homebridge.

There are fixes in the works for issues related this (I don't think quite there yet) in platform version 2.4.1, currently in beta. You can join if you want. There is some discussion in the beta forums on this. Otherwise, it will eventually make its way to the stable release.

How do I get access to the beta release? Would love to test. I have dimmers throughout my house and home pods in most rooms!

Thanks very much for the reply.
I can live without it for now knowing there's a fix on the way!
