Not able to control devices using Google Generative AI

[half canopy]

Not sure when this stopped working. I have not been actively using it. I am able to query the state of the device. For example command: is living room dimmer on? gets the correct response. But then I try turn living room dimmer off then it fails to do that. The dimmer in question has an alias set to living room dimmer.

If i say: turn off dimmer in living room it works.

So it looks like when I refer to something using an alias it is able to get the current state but not change it.
