Telldus dimmer - why shown as switch in HA?

Configuration
1

Hi,
I have set up a Telldus Dimmer with Telldus Duo on a Pi2. I can use fade/dim using command line but in HA (setup using Light-component) it is shown just as a switch with ON/OFF.
Why does it not allow me to fade/dim ?

TELLSTICK

tellstick:
signal_repetitions: 2

switch:

  • platform: tellstick

light: # Dimmer

  • platform: tellstick

Hey @matlun,

Click on the component name (D1). If it supports dimming you should see a slider in the component details.

There is currently no support for dimming :frowning:

Dimming is supported for the TellstickHub (https://home-assistant.io/components/tellstick/)
but nor for Telldus Live (https://home-assistant.io/components/tellduslive/)

Thanks @davedan, that works great with Telldus Duo! Why didn’t I think of that?

(I add the following if others have a need for it)

The dimmer remembers it’s last setting so when switched on it defaults to that setting.
I can then click the icon or name and use the slider to change setting of the dimmer.
