dlindamood,
The problem with the slider on the widget is you need the status of that device to show the current dim level. Real-time status in widgets is not supported yet. We're having to work around the problem that Widgets are not designed to open your device's network connected 24/7 just to maintain accurate status. (Not to mention a battery killer). We have some concepts in the lab we are playing with to work around widget limitations while not killing your battery.
Maybe I'm not following what you are looking for, but voice commands for a widget doesn't really make much sense to us. A better option is to wait for our Tasker release and use the AutoVoice plug-in for Tasker to achieve your integrated voice controlled home of the future.
