IKEA Tretakt smart plug is identified as having dimming capabilities, which is not true. This device has no such capabilities. It needs to be corrected. Thank you.
Hi,
Is this a Zigbee device please?
Are you using ZHA or Z2MQTT?
New devices that don’t follow a spec fully (IKEA are world renown for this), need a custom “Quirk” file created and added to the Zigbee coordinator:
It’s a Zigbee device. See the attached screenshot [with red Z icon in ZHA]. Tretakt plug is a new device in offer, so there are no quirks available yet. I described the issue so that the developers could address it. I do not expect an immediate solution. Meddling with the “On level” parameter has no effect on anything. The slider is just there. Doesn’t hurt 
Nevertheless, thanks for the hints.
You need to submit a device support request for a custom ZHA Device Handler (also known as a quirk) as an issue to a GitHub repository to have the zigpy/ZHA community there look at it, read and follow → https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha#how-to-add-support-for-new-and-unsupported-devices
…
If you do not want to develop such a “quirk” Python script yourself, you can submit a “device support request” as a new issue to the ZHA Device Handlers project repository on GitHub:
1. Sign in to GitHub.
2. Select New issue and follow the instructions.
** New device support requests require the device signature + diagnostic information.*
** You may also need to actively help in further testing or provide additional information to the volunteering developers.*
Note that submitting a new “device support request” does not guarantee that someone else will develop a custom “quirk” for ZHA. The project relies on volunteering developers. However, without “device support requests”, the developers may not be aware that your specific Zigbee device is not working correctly in ZHA.
