Lutron using default dim for all dimmers after HA reboot

[HobbiestGuy]

The Question:

Lutron integration turns on any dimmer to 49.80%. light.turn_on, homeassistant.turn_on produce same result. Confirmed it is from the integration. 2024-07-29 12:47:18.149 DEBUG (SyncWorker_17) [pylutron] Sending: #OUTPUT,75,1,49.80

Would you please add an item to the Options of the integration to set the variable for the initial dim level?

@HobbiestGuy this is by design. The Lutron integration protocol does not expose an ability to read the default level for a dimmer. The XML database does not contain the information either. So there is no way to see what the default level should be. As a result, a static value is provided that covers the masses. This should not come up that often. As you noted, it is only after a restart of HA and also only if you chose to use the on command in HA directly. Just change any automations to go to a specific dim level instead. The occasion to manually turn on a light via HA without a known dim level could be minimized.

Thank you for the explanation, you have done a great job with this integration. Have you considered making that value a variable set in the integration options? I suspect a manual edit on my end isn't feasible, nor would I want to risk breaking something.

Very best regards, Tyson

@HobbiestGuy I guess we could. Would you mind editing this original post to change it to that request? I can take it up next time I'm tinkering with this. It isn't a big change.

[HobbiestGuy]

You got it - thanks!
