[HS220] Dimmer Calibration (preferred_state)

[Doomsdayrs]

Is it possible to control the dimmers minimum brightness?

From the sysinfo, I can see that there is the configuration for it.

Is it possible to update?

 'preferred_state': [{'brightness': 100, 'index': 0},
                     {'brightness': 75, 'index': 1},
                     {'brightness': 50, 'index': 2},
                     {'brightness': 25, 'index': 3}],

As far as I know, these are the presets that you can change in the app but I'm not sure if they limit the allowed values. Is the minimum brightness of the dimmer currently 25? In any case, the preset functionality is not currently implemented by this library.

Unfortunate, I hope then someone might be able to figure it out @-@

Only constraints I can guess are 0-100, integer, and has to be in order from greatest to least?

I can't be certain, but it's likely you can modify the preferred states in a similar manner to the lightbulbs. I don't know if that will actually change the behavior of the switch, but feel free to play with the raw-command system and see if it tunes the dimmer behavior like you're hoping: https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa/issues/365

Have there been any updates on this? It looks like the bulb integration has been added, but has there been any progress on support for Dimmer calibration?

I was able to use the raw command from the bulb integration. here is how I did it:

kasa --host 192.168.2.206 command --module smartlife.iot.dimmer set_preferred_state "{'index': 3, 'brightness': 25}"
kasa --host 192.168.2.206 command --module smartlife.iot.dimmer set_preferred_state "{'index': 2, 'brightness': 30}"
kasa --host 192.168.2.206 command --module smartlife.iot.dimmer set_preferred_state "{'index': 1, 'brightness': 65}"
kasa --host 192.168.2.206 command --module smartlife.iot.dimmer set_preferred_state "{'index': 0, 'brightness': 100}"

just make sure you replace the host with the host you want to change.

after this

 'preferred_state': [{'brightness': 100, 'index': 0},
                     {'brightness': 65, 'index': 1},
                     {'brightness': 30, 'index': 2},
                     {'brightness': 25, 'index': 3}],

Oh hey that's great! Glad it worked out for you after some tweaking!

Any chance we can get this functionality integrated into the CLI using the normal set preferred state syntax from bulbs?
