dimming a light.... #31

Closed dr-apple closed 7 years ago

dr-apple commented 7 years ago

If I have a lamp, which is off, by siri dimme to 10%, is sent by mqtt following:

{"Name": "Living room light one", "service_name": "", "characteristic": "On", "value": true}

And immediately after that:

{"Name": "living room light one", "service_name": "", "characteristic": "Brightness", "value": 20}

Why is the first info sent that light is on?

Can one change the only dimm value comes?

@dr-apple That's a HomeKit feature. charachteristic "On" is set bei HomeKit whenever the Brightness changes from 0 for the first time. Changing the Brightness e.g. from 20 to 40 will not send the characteristic "On".
