MQTT Dimmer Switch Automation Strobe Effect

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have setup 3 automations to handle kitchen lighting throughout the day using a Treatlife smart dimmer switch flashed with Tasmota. I’ve successfully configured it as a light but have a question. My configuration.yaml and automation.yaml are also attached.

  1. The brightness I have configured according to the time of day, however, when there is motion detected, the light goes to full brightness for a second, then settles on the appropriate brightness. So if we are walking around our kitchen, the light is always strobing, because it goes full brightness then dims soon after when our motion is detected.

Can someone suggest a fix for this?

Thanks for your time.
