andrew77 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Hi guys, I've made a scene with a few lights. Its in the Portal and Alexa. I have it controlled by a KPL button as well When I ask Alexa to turn on the scene 50% she said "X Scene doesn't support that" after a few times she just started saying 'okay' but she'll either turn the scene on or off, no % in between. Can I not turn on a scene a certain percentage?
lilyoyo1 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 No. Scenes cannot be dimmed from Alexa as she stated.
andrew77 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 Thanks for the fast reply. I went through the portal and changed it to a light and when I ask it to go to 50% she turns it on 100%. If I ask her to turn it on 30% she shut it off. Am I missing something? I made sure to update it in the Alexa GUI.When I get home from work I may remove it from the Alexa GUI and re-add it to see if that works.

TomL Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Excuse me for asking, but not sure by the way you have it stated. Is you scene called 50% if so the spoken may be confusing Alexa, if not sorry for the inquiry 2 hours ago, andrew77 said: Hi guys, I've made a scene with a few lights. Its in the Portal and Alexa.

I ask Alexa to turn on great room 50% Larry, I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t have any colours.

I don’t have any colours. Then use the percent option. On is not a percentage. Use 'set' .Scenes are presets. There are no in betweens. Sent using Tapatalk

You are still applying the spoken to a scene - and scenes still cannot be set to anything other than ‘On’ or ‘Off’.Remove the spoken from the scene and apply it to the light itself. Then write a program to trigger of the status of the light and turn the kpl button on if the light is >0 or off otherwise.
andrew77 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 I decided to make a few scenes with varying brightness. Alexa is triggered by the phrases "Turn on Great Room 50%" etc the spoken phrases are in the Isy Portal exactly as Great Room fifty percent.
