MiBoxer WL5 LED strip lights do not turn off completely via Tuya-HomeBridge

[ericfitz]

Describe the bug I have a MiBoxer WL5 LED strip light controller connected to HomeKit. The lights do not completely turn off when accessed via the iOS "Home" app. I can use the Smart Life app or the physical remote control to turn off the lights.

The connection is like this: WL5 --> Smart Life Smart Living iOS app --> Tuya IoT cloud --> HomeBridge 1.5.0 Tuya Platform plugin v1.5.0 --> HomeKit

This controller is RGBW with dimming. In the iOS "Home" app, the controller is exposed as a light with a dimmer control and with selectable color presets.

The problem is this: since this is a dimmer control in HomeKit, I can only turn it off by setting brightness to 0%. However, this does not completely turn off the lights; they stay on at a very dim level.

Expected behavior I expect the lights to turn off completely when I set brightness to 0 in the iOS "Home" app.
