Feature request - Move/step light brightness
Hi, It would be great to have the option to send move/step brightness commands to xComfort lights, similar to https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/ICPSHC24-30EU-IL-1.html#movingstepping
move: this will automatically move the brightness value over time, to stop send value stop or 0.
step: this will increment/decrement the current brightness value by the given one.
In my case this would be very useful for decreasing/increasing light brightness continuously while holding down buttons on a Hue Dimmer Switch.
New dimmers support this, so I may be able to add that, as long as it's supported by MQTT discovery.
This approach doesn't look like it's part of MQTT discovery? Having some trouble seeing how this functionality would be used (without making your own automations).
Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with MQTT discovery. I had a look at the docs and i could not find info to help achieve this functionality, except maybe the transition value? e.g. going from 100% brightness to 1% brightness with a 5 second transition, I'm not sure if that's how it works though.
As mentioned, I would find this functionality useful for my Hue Dimmer Switch where there are buttons to increase/decrease brightness. When i hold the decrease brightness button i want the light brightness to decrease continuously, exactly how the xComfort dimmer switches work. With the current xcomfort/+/set/dimmer topic i imagine i would have to send alot of messages to e.g. get a smooth transition from 100% - 1% brightness over 5 seconds. And if i want to decrease brightness on 3 lights simultaneously, it will be even more messages. But maybe it isn't a problem, have you tried anything similar before?
