HS220 dimmer shows as switch and cannot be dimmed in HomeKit

What happened?

Since don't know when, just noticed now, my smart dimmers HS220 v3.0 hardware, v1.0.10 firmware started to become regular switches instead of dimmers in Apple Homekit. I don't experience any problems in vendor's Kasa application, and I can change the light level in application. However, in Apple Homekit the switch has only toggle "On/Off", and not the light level. I tried to google any mention or similar topics in Internet, but no luck. If that's known issue outside of tplink-smarthome plugin, please share the necessary links, close this ticket, and accept my apologies.
