Simulated brightness entity doesn't appear in Home Assistant

[YodaDaCoda]

What happened?

I set up simulated_brightness on my E1744 & observed the brightness attribute changing via the State tab in the webui as I turned the remote. I went to Home Assistant to use the new brightness on an automation and couldn't find it.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected to find a brightness entity attached to the device in Home Assistant.

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)

Pair E1744 device. Observe it is added to Home assistant. Configure simulated_brightness in z2m. Observe the brightness changes within the state as the remote is rotated. Note the brightness does not appear in Home Assistant.

Zigbee2MQTT version

1.27.2

Adapter firmware version

I have experienced the same issue. Brightness value is visible in MQTT Info inside HA.

I have a brightness attribute in the volume action sensor

had to activate legacy entity attributes for the ha-integrations, now works for me

homeassistant:
  # Optional: Home Assistant legacy entity attributes, (default: shown below), when enabled:
  # Zigbee2MQTT will send additional states as attributes with each entity. For example,
  # A temperature & humidity sensor will have 2 entities for the temperature and
  # humidity, with this setting enabled both entities will also have
  # an temperature and humidity attribute.
  # Note: Disabling this option, requires a Home Assistant restart
  legacy_entity_attributes: true

I can confirm this. I had (somehow) set legacy_entity_attributes to false, when changed to true it works very well!
