Setting Brightness always makes it lowest

I have fresh HA install with some zigbee rotary dimmer added directly through zigbee usb dongle thingie.

Dimmer works fine on its own (its the kind that attaches to light wires directly, and functions even when not paired to hub). When tested through Tuya gateway everything works fine both ways.

When paired to HA I can’t set brightness correctly.
On/Off works.
HA correctly receives brightness and on/off updates in real-time when I molest knob.
Problem: Setting brightness through widget or script always makes it go to lowest.
Sometimes HA shows brightness set to lowest, but usually it lies that its set to what I clicked at.

I tried power-cycling dimmer in question, on first power-on through HA it set light to ~50%, afterwards every click made it go to lowest again.

Do I have to configure something, or is it just not supported?

(Brightness goes from 2 to 254)

The issue turned out to be that my dimmer appears to operate in range 0-65535 not in assumed 0-255, because zigbee market is unstandardized mess :confused:
With 8bit range hardcoded in code there’s nothing that can be done through config. Ugh.
So value always gets trimmed to less that 1%.

To test I just threw

level = int(level/255*65535)

in code and now HA matches behavior of manually molesting dimmer knob…
