I’m running into an odd issue trying to control the brightness of an RGB LED. The code seems to be working, and both the log and the device state show the correct brightness. However, when I go into the control for the LED, the actual brightness that is being set is much lower.
For example, currently I should have a green led at 50% brightness. This is what I see in the log:
[07:55:34][D][light:035]: 'Office New ESP RGB LED' Setting:
[07:55:34][D][light:050]: Brightness: 50%
[07:55:34][D][light:054]: Color brightness: 50%
[07:55:34][D][light:057]: Red: 0%, Green: 100%, Blue: 0%
[07:55:34][D][light:084]: Transition length: 0.1s
The state data is also correct:
| Entity | State | Attributes |
|---|---|---|
| light.office_esp_rgb_led Office ESP RGB LED |
on | effect_list: None, Tricolor Strobe, Tricolor Fade, Pulse, Pulse Fast supported_color_modes: rgb color_mode: rgb brightness: 128 hs_color: 120, 100 rgb_color: 0, 128, 0 xy_color: 0.172, 0.747 effect: None friendly_name: Office ESP RGB LED supported_features: 44 |
However, this screen shot shows that the actual brightness is only at 25 - and that matches what I am seeing on the LED itself.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on? This is an issue a night, as the auto-dimming I have has a floor of 10% (since the LED can’t dim much more than that), but the actual brightness is around 7% when I do that which turns the LED off.
