Recently, I encountered an issue with my Arilux AL-LC011 LED dimmer when integrating it with Home Assistant using the FLUX LED platform. The problem was that I couldn’t control the brightness using the brightness slider in Home Assistant—it only responded when I adjusted the white value slider. This was quite frustrating, especially since I wanted to control the dimmer via voice commands with Google Home.
After some research and experimentation, I found a solution! By modifying the configuration in configuration.yaml, I was able to map the brightness control correctly. Here’s what I did:
yaml
light:
- platform: flux_led
devices:
192.168.1.130:
name: LED Strip
brightness: true
I also discovered that ensuring the brightness parameter was explicitly set to true was crucial. Additionally, I updated the FLUX LED integration to the latest version, which improved compatibility.
Now, I can seamlessly control the brightness using the Home Assistant interface and even through voice commands. It’s such a relief to have this working smoothly! I’d like to thank the community for the helpful discussions and resources that guided me to the solution. If anyone else is facing similar issues, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to help!
