Works great to dim a bunch of lights without using Z2M binding. Too bad it only does on/off and not brightness level though.

This is because i only use the on/off function.
maybee you could rewrite it yourself for dimming, there are so examples on how to do this.

I have a question that I can’t answer because I don’t own an IKEA Switch (or use ZigBee2MQTT).

The State Trigger monitors the sensor’s action attribute.

platform: state
  entity_id: !input 'switch'
  attribute: action  <--- This

However, the variable refers to the sensor’s state and not its action attribute.

command: '{{ trigger.to_state.state }}'
                                ^
                                |

Is it because the sensor’s state has the same value as its action attribute? If it does, why does the Stage Trigger monitor the action attribute instead of the state?

i realy don’t know why i did that. i’m a hobby programmer that rebuild a already made product.
i will look into it.
