Value dimmable bulbs lasts only a few seconds homekit device

[Lastless]

The problem

When I set a value from the home assistant (either as an automation or manually from the dashboard, after a few seconds it returns to the value set by the app that owns the lights. If you put 75 in the app that owns the lights and 10 in the home assistant, after 3 seconds the lights are set to 75. I use homekit devices as integration, turning it off and on works correctly.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

I need the diagnostic JSON data the template asks for so that I can map the iid data in the log to characteristics uuids.

[Jc2k]

Guessing that iid 10 is brightness.

I see us write the value you request. Then there are 3 callbacks. One is because the write was accepted. The next 2 are events from the device. It acknowledges the brightness and then reverts to 100%. We never request 100%, the device just jumps to it.

The doesn't happen with other lights, so it seems to be a quirk of these lights.

[Lastless]

The problem occurs on all the lights, not just this one, I am now attaching the JSON diagnostic.

[Jc2k]

I meant it doesn't happen with eg Hue, Nanoleaf, Koogeek, Ikea.. so it's a quirk of Vimar. Vimar are handling the spec different to all the other manufacturers.

Are you able to test with the iOS Home app to confirm it works as expected there?

My hunch is that when we send the "on" command it sets the brightness to 100. And so when we send brightness and on together, most devices process the "on" first, then set the brightness.

[Lastless]

I'm waiting for a friend with an iphone... so there isn't nothing i can do?

[Lastless]

Hello there,

I tested with an iPad, everything is ok, even in Alexa or in the Vimar app, only Home Assistant has this problem.
