"hey siri set brightness to 35%" goes through 2 stages (0% -> 100% -> 35%) but not the same from UI

I have a dimmer switch (GE Z-wave) attached thru Vera. When I am logged into the HA webpage, I can click on the percent slider and the light will turn on more or less directly at the percent. However, when I use the “Hey Siri” command, it will turn the light on at full brightness, then it goes down to the desired percentage. (Also from the Vera website, I can click directly from off to 35% and it doesn’t go to 100% first.)

Any idea on this behavior? I’m not even sure what logs to look at for this. Help? :slight_smile:

not much you can do if Siri is doing those commands.

Is there a way to find out what command Siri is sending HA?

depends on how you link Siri to HA

How many ways are there?

homekit:
  filter:
    include_domains:
      - light
      - media_player
      - binary_sensor
      - climate
      - cover
      - fan
      - light
      - switch

I’m experiencing the same issue. I’ve got a couple of Qubino Flush dimmers (Z-Wave) that Home Assistant manages, and whenever I use the built-in (in HA, that is) HomeKit support I see similar issues. Doesn’t matter if I use Apple’s own Home.app on my iPhone, or invoke Siri to ask her to change the light levels.

I’m on 0.96.5, if that helps.

Is there a way to see the actual command that is sent to HA from Siri? There must be.

Are you experiencing said behaviour only when setting the dimmer via Siri?
Just like @usrlocal, I experience the stages you described also when setting the dimmer from within the home app. Also I’d speculate that the command(s) issued from Siri to HA are identical to what is sent when performing the corresponding action in the home app.

Were any of you able to make progress on the issue in the meantime?
