This is a blueprint for the IKEA Tradfri dimmer switch on off dim.
So far you can only dim 1 light with it.
You can also change the transition time for switching and dimming, the brightness steps for dimming up and down and also the delay time in between the dimming steps.
Because I am quite new to home assistant I am happy for useful feedback for improving the code.
