Dimmer integrate as a slider

[nbalcaen]

Perhaps it's a stupid question, but would it be possible to integrate the dimmers with an additional slider from 0-100%?
Now they are added as a simple switch without the functionality to dim.

Or is there a way to use HA to change the dimming per dimmer? I have 6 dimmers type 551-72201 (easywave protocol)

That is weird, I have also some dimmers and these are exposed as dimmers.

Could you provide me with a device list, and the name of the Switch in Home Assistant? See: https://github.com/joleys/niko-home-control-II?tab=readme-ov-file#i-need-to-see-the-device-list

Uit de device list leid ik af dat de integratie de dimmers wel herkend, maar bij de bediening zijn deze weergegeven als 'eenvoudige' schakelaar. Dien ik iets aan te passen?

[nbalcaen]

OK, problem solved.

[tijsverkoyen]

@nbalcaen what was the problem? And how did you resolve it?

[nbalcaen]

It was actually functioning from the beginning.
