It is expected behavior.

Result on "set {device} to 50%" command will be:

msg: {
   "payload":"on",
   "on":true,
   "bri":128,
   "percentage":50,
 ...
 ...
 }

Sorry, I don't get it. If I ask Alexa, or use Alexa app to change brightness, I get only on/off command. Ho do I get percentage of brightness ?

datech commented 4 years ago

The payload attribute of the msg is either on or off. Bri and percentage are attributes on the msg, not on the payload. Are you checking the full message or just the payload?

raufis27 commented 4 years ago

I have debug node connected to output of hub and "device".

I see what do you mean now. Thank you so much!
