I tried to get it working, but the problem is that I don't know much about coffee script. @icesory told me that you could use the dimmer device from homeduino and adjust it to mysensors. Maybe @icesory can help?

This is the code from homeduino:

 class HomeduinoRFDimmer extends env.devices.DimmerActuator
    _lastdimlevel: null

    constructor: (@config, lastState, @board, @_pluginConfig) ->
      @id = config.id
      @name = config.name
      @_dimlevel = lastState?.dimlevel?.value or 0
      @_lastdimlevel = lastState?.lastdimlevel?.value or 100
      @_state = lastState?.state?.value or off

      for p in config.protocols
        _protocol = Board.getRfProtocol(p.name)
        unless _protocol?
          throw new Error("Could not find a protocol with the name \"#{p.name}\".")
        unless _protocol.type is "dimmer" or "switch"
          throw new Error("\"#{p.name}\" is not a dimmer or a switch protocol.")

      @board.on('rf', (event) =>
        for p in @config.protocols
          unless p.receive is false
            match = doesProtocolMatch(event, p)
            if match
              if event.values.state?
                if event.values.state is false
                  unless @_dimlevel is 0
                    @_lastdimlevel = @_dimlevel
                  @_setDimlevel(0)
                else
                  @_setDimlevel(@_lastdimlevel)
              else
                _protocol = Board.getRfProtocol(p.name)
                if _protocol.values.dimlevel?
                  min = _protocol.values.dimlevel.min
                  max = _protocol.values.dimlevel.max
                  dimlevel = Math.round(event.values.dimlevel * ((100.0 / (max - min))+min))
                  @_setDimlevel(dimlevel)
        )
      super()

    _sendLevelToDimmers: sendToDimmersMixin   

    turnOn: -> @changeDimlevelTo(@_lastdimlevel)

    changeDimlevelTo: (level) ->
      unless @config.forceSend
        if @_dimlevel is level then return Promise.resolve true
      if level is 0
        state = false
      unless @_dimlevel is 0
        @_lastdimlevel = @_dimlevel

      @_sendLevelToDimmers(@config.protocols, state, level).then( =>
        @_setDimlevel(level)
      )

Managed to add the dimmer, its working for me. But there could be some bugs. https://github.com/DheerajKhajuria/pimatic-mysensors/pull/9

closing the issue, assuming dimmer is working for you . Again raise the issue if problem comes again.

It works with all the default dimmer sketches from MySensors :)
