Default values for commands like dim, brighten, decrease, increase, etc

Question

Greetings,

I have a question with regards to test plan named Compatibility-Dimmable and Compatibility-Fans items #:

DevRe-1.2: “dim <name of light>” : Correct device is dimmed to 25% (e.g. from 50% to 25%)

DevRe-1.3: “brighten <name of light>” : Correct device is brightened to 50% (e.g. from 25% to 50%)

DevRe-1.2: "decrease <name of fan>" ; default value is to 1 level

DevRe-1.3: "increase <name of fan>" ; default value is 1 level

I am looking at the developer directives:

https://developer.amazon.com/docs/device-apis/alexa-brightnesscontroller.html#adjustbrightness

and the ones for decrease, and increase (Sorry, I lost the link). They state that it needs a value for dim, brighten, increase, and decrease. They do not state any default value of utterance command “

Can you please confirm that test items DevRe-1.2, DevRe-1.3, and other “dim <name of light>” and “brighten <name of light>” default value is 25%?

Can you please confirm that test items DevRe-1.2, DevRe-1.3, and other “increase <name of fan>” and “brighten <name of fan>” default value is 1 level?

And if possible, please help provide developer link with explanation on this behavior.

Best Regards,

Hello,

Thanks for posting. When building a Smart Home skill, you can implement dim/brighten/decrease fan/increase fan levels to any values that you'd like.

However, for WWA certification, you'll need to set the default values to the ones indicated in the test plan. This is meant to provide consistency across all WWA certified devices so when a user say “brighten the light”, they get a consistent experience across different brands of WWA certified bulbs.
