I recently encountered a couple of interesting challenges with my smart home setup that I’d like to share and discuss with the community. 
First, let me talk about my experience with the Shelly 2 Dimmer module. I’ve set it up in my hallway to control the lights, and it works perfectly with my dusk-to-dawn schedule, dimming to 27% at night. However, my wife and I noticed an issue when manually switching the light on using the physical switch. Instead of coming on at full brightness, it defaults to 27%, which can be a bit frustrating in the middle of the night. 
I tried creating a simple flow: when the switch is turned on, set the brightness to 100%. But here’s the catch—when I did this, the light would briefly turn on at full brightness and then immediately turn off. 
It was perplexing! After some research and trial and error, I found that the timing of the automation was crucial. By adjusting the delay in the flow, I managed to get the light to stay on at 100% brightness when manually switched. 
Now, onto my experience with Tuya sockets. I purchased a set of six, and five of them integrated seamlessly into my local Tuya setup. However, the sixth one was stubborn—no matter how many times I followed the setup process, it just wouldn’t show up in my device list. After some digging, I realized that resetting the socket to factory settings and trying the integration again did the trick. It’s a small hiccup, but it’s good to know that a simple reset can resolve such issues.
I’d love to hear if anyone else has encountered similar problems or has additional tips for troubleshooting these kinds of integration issues. Let’s keep the conversation going!
