Hey there - I've just added a Samotech SM323 dimmer module to my living room. It's installed on Hubitat as a Generic Zigbee Dimmer. I've added it to the Alexa Skill app as well.
The dimmer works correctly from the switch. It works correctly from within the dashboard and I can slide the bar to adjust brightness. If I say to Alexa, "Switch on/off the living room lights" that works, but I thought I should be able to say, "Turn the living room lights to 50%" and it would control the dimmer. When I try that I'm told that there "isn't a group named living room lights". Is dimmer control via Alexa not possible or am I doing something wrong?
It's an Alexa nuance thing. Dimmer control works, but occassionally you need to work with Alexa to figure out what phrase it wants. Had 3 lights set up at one point named Living Room Light 1, Living Room Light 2, Living Room Light 3 and it would refuse to turn on/off just one light if I used the full name - had to go to turn on Living Room 1 etc and drop the word light to make it work...
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm still no further unfortunately! I can control the level from the Alexa iPhone app by sliding the bar and it works fine through there as well. I just can't work out what the voice command is. It just steadfastly refuses to acknowledge there is a group or device named "living room light" in conjunction with dim/brighten/set to 50%/set power level etc etc.
Is there nowhere you can set up a specific voice routine or see a list of available commands?
Ah, I think this issue was being caused by the Alexa being logged in as my wife or not having a group set up in the app. I set it up so that it knew the Echo device and the lights were in the same room, switched to my account and it all works spot on now
