the portal)

•
Contrary to regular devices, you can use the same state variables multiple times.
This allows you to have 2 different spoken for the same var, but with different turn
on values
•
The word "percent" is optional but recommended. Depending on your spoken and
how well you pronounce, the word "percent" may be skipped. But it does facilitate
proper recognition if you use it
•
You can use "increase" and "decrease" instead of brighten and dim. But depending
on your spoken and how well you pronounce, increase is often misunderstood as a
volume adjustment
•
You can assign turn on / turn off values with very high values. However, when you
set it to a percentage, or use brighten/dim, the value can only be 0-100. For Alexa,
it's a percentage after all
