RGB Bulb Brightness Control via MQTT

General
1

I’ve recently upgraded my incandescent bulbs to RGBCCT bulbs, all flashed via Tuya Convert to Tasmota and integrated with MQTT. I’m facing an issue where the MJ dimmer switch doesn’t control the brightness of the bulbs when using the physical buttons, though the slider in Home Assistant works perfectly. The slider moves, but the bulbs don’t respond. I’ve reviewed my MQTT configurations and suspect the error lies there. Here’s the code from my lights.yaml file:

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I realize I’ll have to adjust color and temperature via the app for now.
