I’ll give you a couple examples, out of many, that come to mind: There are a bunch of reasons why an OFF and an ON are very different from a 0 and a 100. Like I was saying, why would openHAB take an OFF command and change it to a 0 when the device supports and OFF. I feel the its a workable situation but really think something is off (no pun intended). I find the integration with Alexa much better than my Siri, Google Home and Cortana integration which all have annoying nuances that I have to work around. Incidentally the group setup on Alexa per room also contains the thermostat elements so she can tell me the temperature and set target for each room. I am currently happy with the way my lights return to the last brightness settings, although it means I must remember when I am in the bedroom and have the lights on full to dim them to say 15% before requesting them to be switched off so that if they are put on during the wee hours they return to a reasonable level and do not cause difficulties with the brightness. most of the behaviour is between Alexa and the device controller and nothing to do with OH at all. It is not clear to me why this is a OH discussion as such. In my case there are three controllers in play, Hue bridge, Alexa Skill, OH2 Binding. Another that came to mind is that the controller dictates the return to past brightness level not the element sending the update. although the luminance may be the same is the power consumption? is a relay set to OFF the same as a dimmer set to 0%, perhaps a hardware expert can advise.I am trying to understand what is driving the need to use ON and Off commands rather than 0 and 100 brightness if the outcome is the same?
