Dimmers not added as lights

[dalomstornado]

My dimmers are of model = "selflearning-dimmer". Same config (parameters house and unit) as model codeswitch which work fine and added as switch.

• Dimmers work fine execing in the container and using tdtool.
• They do no add as lights in HA.
• They are added as binary sensors in HA.

Any misshaps on my side perhaps?

I guess next up is that the mqtt library does not support the messages from type light. "paho.mqtt.client.MQTTMessage object at 0x75fe6680"

What version of HASS did you verify dimmers on? I just tried 2021.12.7 with no luck.

To be frank I did not have real access to a dimmer before but now I have and at this stage I can only confirm the dimmer do not work as expected. Will try to have a look at this as soon as possible. Thanks for your post!

[dalomstornado]

That is perfectly all right. I forked your repo. Have some more changes, like using on/off for the dimmers. Have some testing and state reporting left...

Feel free to dig a bit further if you want and I can test and release your pr

@dalomstornado is there anything I can help with?

I have not had much time to look at this lately. But could you perhaps look at making device_event in main.py able to distinguish between dimmer and switches? I just hardcoded my fork for now.
