Hi I have got the problem that, whatever I ask Alexa the node only gives back "on" or "off" values. no brightness no color etc.

I use node red in a docker. As described in the Troubleshooting of the WIKI I run the docker as root (user 0) with host network access. There are only 2 more containers with zigbee2mqtt and mosquito running. None of them is using port 80.

Alexa finds my "Testlampe" without problems. When I use the Alexa App or ask her to switch off or on the "Testlampe" I get a msg.payload "on" or "off" as expected. But when I change color or brightness. It also gives back "on" or "off".

my node looks like this so far

What am I doing wrong??

Debug the entire msg, not just the msg.payload.
