Hello,
I’m trying to make my own wireless controller with a rotary encoder that would control various devices. I am currently testing brightness on light.
I did it, but I don’t like the logic of control.
When I set the brightness level via the web interface (example 100%) and then use the encoder value jumps to the latest set encoder value, I want it to change the current state smoothly.
If someone already has such a control ready, can they give it to me?
I tried to get value through:
{{states ('controller_rotary_encoder') | int}}
{{states.controller_rotary_encoder.state | int}}
{{states ('controller_rotary_encoder.state') | int}}
but it always throws me a value of “0” which does not move when the encoder changes.
My configuration:
Frimware on ESP-12f:
sensor:
- platform: rotary_encoder
name: "Controller Rotary Encoder"
pin_a: GPIO4
pin_b: GPIO5
min_value: 0
max_value: 10
resolution: 1
Automations action (values jumps):
data_template:
brightness_pct: '{{states.sensor.controller_rotary_encoder.state | int*10 }}'
entity_id: light.desk
service: light.turn_on
Note: It is necessary to use “brightness_pct” because “brightness” cannot light up from zero.
Thanks for help.
Have you ever found a solution for this?
I am noticing the same issue and I would like to fix it.
Thanks.

some lights have delta brightness control instead of absolute values. so you can send fixed value on every step of rotary controller. for example -5 for dimming by 5 units
I do believe I have a delta set, is that maybe my problem?

Hi, this is my last configure, i hope so help.
