Hi there,

Thanks for your interest in Sophia. Those look like pretty straight forward sentences Sophia should be interpreting without issue.

Can you please take a look at your device config? Please ensure the device you're targetting is something descriptive such as "light.living_room_ceilings_lights" or something similar.

If you continue to experience problems, please e-mail me directly at [email protected]. Copy and paste the relevent sentences from the Log menu of the localhost webb interface, plus also send me the CSV file from the Entities -> Export menu. That will allow me to emulate your home config and reproduce the problem and provide a fix.

Best regards, Matt

Sorry about previous message, it was actually a bug. Same thing as if you asked it to dim the lights the same thing would have happened. It would get the intent correct but no device would change.

This is now resolved as of the v2.1.4 upgrade and changing color now works fine. Sorry about that.
