Leviton z wave switch showing up as fan (switch) in google home

I have a Leviton ZW4SF-1BW linked to a SmartThings hub v2. It’s showing up correctly in SmartThings and I can control the fan speed via the SmartThings app. However, when I pair it to my Google Home account it shows up as a Fan (Switch) and does not give me the option to change the speed, only turn it on/off. 

Has anyone else had this issue before?

Having the exact same problem. Anyone have a solution?

I finally got it to work by switching the type in the Google Home app to "dimmer"

Thank you, but my list of common device  types in the Google Home Ap does not contain dimmer.  How did you set that? 
thanks

Sorry, I meant "Switch", not dimmer.

I have mine set to Switch. Then I set up custom routines so that medium = 50%, high = 75%, etc.

Hey folks,

 

Thecker3, thanks for updating the Community of your resolution — it's a big help. 

 

JBarbaccia, have you had the chance to try the steps suggested by Thecker3? Please let me know if you are still having any trouble from here, as I would be happy to take a closer look and assist you further.

I tried and only have off/on functionality.   Leviton really needs to remove their ‘works with Google ‘ labeling as it does not.
