Greetings,
I have a GE light dimmer (model 45614) that I used to control from a Vera Edge. I could ask my Google assistant/speaker to “lower the lights” and it would reduce the light level by something like 15% each time I asked. I am migrating away from the few things that are still on that Vera Edge and I added a Z-Wave USB stick to my HA computer. Works great! However, when I ask Google to “lower the lights” nothing happens. In the Google Home app, on my android phone, I can see the slider bar (for the dimmer) reduce the lights by 30% but the light level never changes and I see nothing in the HA logs.
I CAN put my finger on that google home-app dimmer slider and silde it up and down and cause the light level to change though. I’m missing something but after 2 days of google searches, I haven’t figured it out yet. Yes, I could say “hey google set the lights to 20%” and it will work, so the hooks are there to do this but I’m just coming up a bit short of figuring out what I’m missing when I just say “lower the lights”.
