Trouble getting dimmer bar on light switch

Configuration
1

I have a Moes dimmer switch with Tasmota (DigiBlur’s version) on it. I can control the switch as expected from the Tasmota page at the Dimmer’s IP address. I also have it added to HA and can control the on/off within HA. But, I can not figure out how to get a dimmer slider under the switch.

My configuration.yaml

light:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Nursery Lights"
    state_topic: "stat/dimmer1/POWER"
    command_topic: "cmnd/dimmer1/POWER"
    availability_topic: "tele/dimmer1/LWT"
    brightness_state_topic: "stat/dimmer1/RESULT"
    brightness_command_topic: "cmnd/dimmer1/Dimmer"
    brightness_scale: 100
    brightness_value_template: "{{ value_json.Dimmer }}"
    qos: 1
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"
    payload_available: "Online"
    payload_not_available: "Offline"
    retain: false

My lovelace config

entities:
  - entity: light.nursery_lights
show_header_toggle: false
theme: default
title: Nursery
type: entities

But all I see is a switch.

What am I doing wrong?

What happens when you click on the switch in the frontend?

3

The switch responds to on/off commands from the front-end. I can turn it on and off from Home Assistant.

I have a couple Lutron Caseta dimmers and a slider bar has never appeared on the “states” front end for these either. Are you using lovelace? If so this custom component will accomplish what you are looking for.

Thanks! That custom add-on worked!

Glad I could help. Have a look see at the rest of his custom cards. I use several of them and they greatly improved my lovelace setup.
