MQTT Dimmer using state_value_template works in the template tester but not in config

Configuration

ya I would hope it doesn’t require the deletes, there might have been issues with my Home Assistant too.But It dawned on me after working with some nice people on Home Assistant Discord channel were able to get it working on a new object with the same template pointing to the same MQTT topics but different named device in HA. At that point I knew I had to delete that object and apply the template again. Can’t really explain why :slight_smile:

Thanks for your help your template you posted above would have worked!

Thanks for this, been struggling to get my dimmer lights showing correctly in HA.
Not sure what the final issue was of yours, but I think Zwave2MQTT was sending the value to topic as a string not as a number. Adding the INT seems to have done the trick!
