light:
  - platform: monochromatic
    name: "Test Lights 1"
    output: dmx_1
    id: light_test1
    default_transition_length: 2s

output:
  - platform: dmx512
    channel: 12
    universe: dmx
    id: dmx_A_coarse
  - platform: dmx512
    channel: 13
    universe: dmx
    id: dmx_A_fine
  - platform: template
    id: dmx_1
    type: float
    write_action:
      - lambda: |-
          int lvl = static_cast<int>(state*65535.0);
          uint8_t low = lvl & 0xff;
          uint8_t high = (lvl >> 8);
          id(dmx_A_coarse).set_level(high/255.0);
          id(dmx_A_fine).set_level(low/255.0);

It would have been great to see this snippet in your first post or at least second post after your yaml was requested.

Please take the time to read how to ask a good question so you can get quicker help in the future

As the docs state all possible parameters is it as easy to hit this both links

to find out their is not much to tweak for you.

You might want to contact the author of the custom component you are using

After a very quick look it doesn't seem like esphome is actually involved to much in the dimming and like @Fallingaway24 is stating it just might be your lights (or dmx) is the limiting factor
