45857GE dimmer switch won't tun on via Home Assistant

Hello, and thanks for looking.

I am using HA version 0.87.1, and I can’t get this switch to perform correctly. HA can turn them off without issue. Turning them on, however, requires me to open the slider, move it, and them move it again to have the lights turn on.
Using services under the developer tools, I can make the light turn on, but I have to specify a brightness, and then call the service, change the brightness up one percent or more, and call the service again - THEN the lights will turn on.

{
  "entity_id": "light.jasco_products_45857_001f328b_1",
 "brightness_pct": 21
}

What can I do to get around this? The way the switches worked before (using Iris by Lowe’s) was the on button turned the lights on to the most recent brightness, and if the slider was moved, it would turn on the light the first bit above 0.
These switches also have a binary sensor that will only change state if the physical switch is pressed. Pretty neat. I’m hoping that I can use this to double tap the on and get 100 pct brightness regardless of current brightness.

I’ve done some more testing and can not get this to work correctly. I have noticed that the slider in Lovelace does not actually go to 0. I can call the service light.turn_on and give it the “brightness_pct”: 0 and the light will turn off. I can then tell the light to go to any other percent, and it will function correctly. Go back to Lovelace, and I get the dimmest setting - but still on - when the slider is at 0.

I’ve considered automating the turn on sequence, but couldn’t figure out all the variables - especially “Alexa, turn the light on 50%” I don’t know where to get that variable. If I could somehow, I could just tell the light to turn on to x+1% and the light would turn on as expected.

Seems very strange that the brightness pct works, leading me to believe the issue is with Lovelace. However, telling Alexa to turn on the light doesn’t work either unless i tell it do do so twice with the second time being a percent greater.
