Fade on not working for Kasa dimmer (HS220)

Configuration

Hello,

I just started using Home Assistant and am really getting to love it. I have a question about my Kasa HS220 smart dimmer. In the Kasa app I have the dimmer configured to turn on with slow fade and turn off with slow fade. I have a Home Assistant automation configured to turn the dimmer off when my media player starts playing and turn it on on when the media is paused. When Home Assistant turns the dimmer off it fades out as configured. However, when it turns the dimmer on it doesn’t fade on, it goes on instantly at the last set brightness. I’ve tried entering a set brightness in the automation and leaving the brightness field blank but that doesn’t affect anything. I’ve searched the forums but couldn’t find this type of scenario. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Following. I have the same problem with a KP405 dimmer plug.

Just noticed this too with the KP405 dimmer plug. Looking at the attributes for the integration, I see the attribute fadeoff, but don’t see anything pertaining to fadeon. So it would seem the integration does not support this.
