| | Earlier this year we finished converting our garage into a home office. As part of this effort we replaced all of the electrics. For the lighting I asked the electrician to install Zigbee compatible spot lighting (I don't have a lot of head space, so small recessed lighting was essential). The bulbs he installed were dimmable, but the switch he installed was a simple Zigbee on/off switch. After discovering this and having had a clear couple of conversations on the requirements I decided to replace the switch for a dimmable one. My first attempt went nowhere, the switch simply either functioning as a simple on/off or not at all (the instructions for that one were absolute garbage), but my second choice of switch succeeded and gave us a Zigbee light switch that allowed us to dim the lights. But I hit a problem. Home Assistant didn't support it and so I embarked on an exercise to get it working.
