Andddddd by posting my own topic – I found the answer – the state_topic is based off POWER not RESULT. Got left in there when I was testing!

Corrected code works fine now:

But then the Dimmer wasn’t updating so I had to enable SetOption59 1 on the Tasmota/Sonoff.

Again Final Code was:

    brightness_state_topic: "tele/tasmota-dimmer-4532/STATE"
