Unsupported generic zigbee dimmer #80

Closed papadeeh closed 11 months ago

papadeeh commented 11 months ago

This generic device does work perfectly in Homey (on/off and dim level) but with Homekitty it can only be turned on/off. It is not recognised as dimmable.

I hope I provided the necessary information, but when not, please let me know.

The HomeKit protocol doesn't support "dimmable sockets". Is it possible to change the device type to "light" in the device configuration (Homey app)?

papadeeh commented 11 months ago

Aha, okay. So the problem is that it is classified as a socket, although it is a switch that needs to be installed inside the wall, behind a button. Is it possible to change the class so it can be dimmed?

Like I said, check the device configuration in the Homey app to see if you can change the device type (I believe it's called "Plugged in").

Yes, I have thanked that to “lamp” removed it from homekitty and added it again. Now it works. Thank you!
