Favorite acts different than devices

I have used the following format for many of my lights.

1) A default on level for a device (most common desired brightness / used as "Alexa turn on the light `)

2) A dim value implemented as a scene (attached to "fast off" if there is a switch / also used as "Alexa turn on light dim"

3) A bright value implemented as a scene (attached to "fast on" if there is a switch / also used as "Alexa turn on light dim"

 

When registering these as favorites the scenes work as they did on the Devices and Scenes page BUT the device DOSE NOT".  The favorites device icon lacks the little dot and can not be used to turn on/off the device by simply clicking on the icon.  Scene favorites work the same as on the Devices and Scenes page (icons have dots).

I don't know if this was intended (a feature or a bug) but it would be handier for my use if it worked the same on the Favorites page as it does on the Devices and Scenes page.

 

Thanks

Hi @bikerbobhain,

 

Did you select "status" as the status-control when picking devices?   A device can have many status values, such as on-level and ramp-rate, if  "status" was not selected as the status-control the toggle will not be present as, status-controls such as on-level and ramp-rate, can not be toggled.   

Toggle is only visible when selecting status as the visible status-control and the device accepts ON (DON) and OFF (DOF) commands.   Program toggle is only visible when selecting status as the visible status-control also. Program toggle is run-if  and stop. 

If a status-control other than status was selected, long click the favorite and release without moving position, then delete.

Does this fix the issue?

I did not.  I did not know how it worked.  That did fix the problem.

Is there any documentation (manual) for this program.  I know it is early and everything may still be developing so I understand If it has not happened yet.
