By setting a Tasmota v8.1.0 dimmable bulb to use the PWM directly ( SetOption15 0 ) instead of 0-100% dimmer, I can get my bulb to a much lower brightness. This is great since I use it as a night light. I sorted out the configuration below and it works well except that unlike in the Dimmer configuration, hitting the toggle does not restore the light to its previous brightness. Instead, it turn it on the max value in the brightness_scale.
This seems like a bug but I wanted to check if there is something wrong with my configuration. Note that in Pwm config, the bulb doesn’t publish tele/%topic%/STATE so instead I have to subscribe to stat/%topic%/RESULT with that complete payload being:
{
“PWM”: {
“PWM1”: 52
}
