More help for a beginner please

Maybe someone could show a more complex example of using command factory.
The device is a Fibaro dimmer and I would like to send say 50 to "percentage"
The Wiki is very compehensive but some real world examples would be great.
This will be driven from Alexa. Here is some code I have attempted within a function but it does not work.

var oo=msg.on;
var perc=msg.percentage;
var newPerc;
if(oo==true){newPerc=perc}else{newPerc=0}

let Message = {
"payload": {
"mode": "ValueAPI",
"node": 18,
"method": "setValue",
"params": [{
commandClassName: "Multilevel Switch",
commandClass: 38,
endpoint: 2,
property: "Target value",
propertyName: "Target value"
},newPerc]
}
}
return Message

I would ideally like to achieve this using the "Factory"

Hi @mugginsjm,

There is a feature on the UI - UI Monitor - you can see the exact command that gets sent, when you control things via the UI.
you can use the commands it sends in your functions nodes 😄

give me 5 minutes, and ill demo CMD-Factory

@mugginsjm,

Here you go. CMD Factory (Both APIs)
PS: its targetValue not Target value 😄

Hi Marcus
I'd missed that UI-monitor... very useful
Thanks for the example, perfect!
