better granularity on dimmer button press #189

I have added a Phillips Hue Dimmer to my setup using a ConBee 2 dongle and the zigbee adapter. The buttons are all recognized, but the dim up and down buttons trigger 30% changes in value. This is rather crude I think and doesn't allow for a very smooth transition. This problem is especially acute as there is at present no way to simply link the brightness value of the dimmer to the brightness value of a bulb. The only way I see to manage it is with a series of less/greater than tests--rather clunky. Happy to dig in myself with a little guidance, but thought I'd start by asking here. It also occurs to me that this might be an issue with device definitions in the gateway itself. However, it was recommended by someone that I start here. Feel free to point me elsewhere as needed.
