Thanks Jason for setting this up!
Does that not say ‘Fade to 100% in 50secs’?
I’m not sure what you are trying to do.
I’ve used fade to 100% to dim up a light but i had to make sure level was 0% when command started.
When my hue switches off the level is still 100% so it can’t fade to 100% if it’s already 100%.
May be wrong about this but this the way it seems to happen for me.
I’ve started using set to 0% to ‘turn off’ a dimmable light
ok what is wrong with my logic? The counter updates. It is now 7 on the dashboard. How can I make part two fire and say the message?
I just played with it a little bit. I never knew about the difference between setting level to zero versus turning off. Now I do and it works. Thank you.

I would start this with…
Set level to zero
Set color to honey dew
Fade to 100% over 50 sec.
The “Set color to X’” sets the hue, the saturation and the level of your light to predefined values (which explains your light coming on at high brightness level). Try setting the color by specifying the hue, saturation and level instead and use level 0. Then the fade will work. Also, put both tasks into a single action, chain the fade after the set color.
Check the logs, maybe it does say it but there is something wrong elsewhere. Enable debug and check the logs for the blue info lines

Can you help me understand the problem part?
Thanks
Is any other app (other than CoRE) able to play a message to your device?
Yes. I have rule machine triggers that play “The mail is here” when the mail arrives. Should I delete and re-add the piston?
No. So RM works with playText. Custom command?
Well rule machine is using the built in items to say a message as the action, as the result of the trigger of a contact opening… I’m not sure if the behind the sceen is playText Custom command.
Let me see…
In the time between my posts, i was creating an identical new piston with the same rules as the first. I didn’t read that this wasn’t necessary. It is logging the same error, as you pretty much knew would happen.
Do you want to see the live log of ‘the mail is here’ working?
Yeah, please.
Before I do that,
I updated the “when true” action from “speak text” to “speak” and it worked.
Hmmm… speak vs playText - which one were you using in RM? Maybe you were using speak too? Is this a speech synthesis device?
