assistant.event.OkGoogle not recognizing phrase

using the below script to issue by voice "light me up" google responds by asking for what time - I think it is hearing me say "wake me up" and tries setting an alarm.

When I ask for "darken me" it turns off the wrong light.

Frustrated.

metadata: name: test voice activation # Choose a short name that summarizes important starters and actions, like “Sunset lights”. description: turn test lamp on by voice activation saying "ok google, light me up" and off using "ok google, darken me" automations: - starters: - type: assistant.event.OkGoogle eventData: query is: light me up # No need to add "Ok Google" to the query here. actions: - type: device.command.OnOff # Turn the device on or off. on: true devices: Kasa1 - Test Room - starters: - type: assistant.event.OkGoogle eventData: query is: darken me actions: - type: device.command.OnOff # Turn the device on or off. on: false devices: Kasa1 - Test Room

Have you tried removing "me" from the query? Does the automation work if you replace "light me up" with "enlighten", and "darken me" with just "darken"?

Not sure whether you already know or not.
You can check Google Assitant Activity to know what Google Assitant recognized your voice command as.

Nope - just wants to give me a definition for enlighten.

OK, another option is "Illuminate". I know this query works because I have it setup for one of my lighting automations.
