Good afternoon.
I try to create via node-red-contrib-googlehome, Level set function for domoticz.
For this I created an account with [[Node-RED Google Assistant Bridge](https://googlehome.hardill.me.uk/login).
I added it to my google home, and added a device.
Now I have managed to give a, on and off command, but dimming is not possible. I can't created the right command. I added the flow. I have a raspberry 4, I run on docker/docker compose
```auto

```
log output
```auto
{"command":"switchlight","idx":64,"switchcmd":"Set Level","level":{"brightness":53}}
```
instead of what is needed for the trigger to take place
```auto
{"command":"switchlight","idx":64,"switchcmd":"Set Level","level":{53}}
```
thank you in advance for all the help.

The top flow that you pasted above is just a debug node.... no other flow components.

Hello bce,
According to Domoticz WIKI ([MQTT - Domoticz](https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MQTT)), the command should be:
```auto
{"command": "switchlight", "idx": 64, "switchcmd": "Set Level", "level": 53}
```
So without the { }.
Can you try that?
Regards

good evening FireWizard52,
thank you voor the respons, this will work.
only will this set the lights to 53%, and not the command i gif to google. like, oke google set light to 25 %. the outputt will be 53% and not 25%

This is correct, as the command contains a fixed value for the level, in this case 53, but that was your own proposal 🙂
This value should be replaced by the brightness variable, you receive from Google Home.
I cannot follow or test your flow completely, as I do not use this device.
However, if I look to the first "Function" node, I see something as:
> } else {
> //brightness
> var brightness = Math.round(100 \* (msg.payload.params.brightness / 100));
> msg.payload = { brightness
> }
> return [msg,null];
I don't think that is correct.
This probably has to be: msg.payload = brightness
or something like:
msg.payload = {"brightness":brightness}
In this case, you have to change the line:
> msg.payload = { "command": "switchlight", "idx": 64, "switchcmd": "Set Level", "level": brightness };
in the Function, called "Function out Dimmer" into::
```auto
msg.payload = { "command": "switchlight", "idx": 64, "switchcmd": "Set Level", "level": msg.payload};
```
or (second example)
```auto
msg.payload = { "command": "switchlight", "idx": 64, "switchcmd": "Set Level", "level": msg.payload.brightness};
```
I have not been able to test this code, but you can try.
Regards

good morning FireWizard52,

hahahaha wrong way of asking a questions. 😃
Thank you for helping, I'm going to try this tonight.

A little warning.
I noticed in your first node (Google Assistants), that a topic has been set as : .idx.4
So the topic start with a dot. Perhaps your system but quite unusual.

thank you
`msg.payload = brightness`
and
```auto
msg.payload = { "command": "switchlight", "idx": 64, "switchcmd": "Set Level", "level": brightness };
```
did the trick
That I didn't see that.
