Thanks, @ddetton. I was using EX switches in slot2 to my lighting program and even when I changed names to the known FB I saw ramping in the debugger, it still didn’t seem to work for me, drove me nuts!
I’ll test things again in my spare time again, I have everything working fine with my dimmers in slot1 where my program is using modules there and working 100% with Alexa and Siri commands, have to say the wife really likes that convenience.
