Setting light brightness? #157
-
I'm slowly cutting over to this solution from the Home Connect Alt integration in Home Assistant. I see how to set a delayed start for a dishwasher by publishing an MQTT message with the delay time in seconds, cool. What isn't obvious to me is how to set the refrigerator light brightness; I assume this would be done in a similar way. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I set the brightness throughout the day to avoid the refrigerator blinding us after dark :) |

I don't have a light brightness on my refrigerator so will be guess work. Have you got HA Discovery enabled? It would likely come through as a number? The closest I have is number.hood_bsh_common_setting_ambientlightbrightness If nothing is identified you will need to have a dig through the devices.json and find the appropriate setting. |

Now I just need to do a little work for both my dishwasher (delay start) and fridge (brightness) to become "family friendly" in Home Assistant and I can remove Home Connect Alt. Thanks again :) |
