Hello,
I need help with controlling the brightness via mqtt.
i am completely new to home assistant used domoticz before but they have no support for new ikea dirigera.
I manage 90% of everything with nodered and mqtt.
what I want to do is send only the brightness from nodered mqtt to home assistant to be able to control the ikea lamp. I need step by step help, I’ve tried everything possible and the only thing I succeed in is turning the lamp on and off but not setting the brightness. i have read every help in docs with mqtt light
but no luck.
Yes, easy for you, but i need visual to se how it works.
An example for full code and where to put those.
In automation i only have light.turn.on or off or increase or decrease brightness. Where do i actual put the mqtt numbers and how to interact with ikea lamps.
In domesticz they are using idx numbers to identify every light/switches or what ever.
Then you only have to send mqtt to the right idx and the value.
Apple Homekit bridge, and the lamps where there. No other lamps or switches. I only need it to use the new ikea dirigera for now. And in the future i will use home assistant dashboard and replace my siemens runtime hmi.
All other zwave, esp, sensors and alarm is controlled by nodred and my siemens plc simulator with HMI.
Oh you are on a mobile device I guess from the look of those screens. Click on the name of one of those devices and at the top of the page the state and all attributes will appear. Like this
