Support For Tuya Dimmer (54)

[pug306d]

Hi,

I am trying to get my Tuya Dimmer which is flashed with Tasmota 6.4.1 basic working in Smart Things.

I set everything up as per the readme and various guides / forum posts I found but I don’t seem to have control of the dimmer in smart things even though it looks like it is connected ok?

Should the Tuya Dimmer be working or does it require some code @changes?

Thanks!

There currently is no support for a dimmer functionality in the SmartThings device handler. Nor is there any specific code to handle that specific module type. It wouldn't be too difficult to implement either/both. First, one would need to implement a child-device-handler for a dimmer. It would probably be very similar to the Tasmota-Power Device Handler. Then one would need to modify the Tasmota Device Handler to spawn a dimmer child device. This probably mean the switch statement where it checks the module type would need to have a case statement added. I probably won't be able to get to inplementing this for at least several days. Feel free to do so yourself and submit a pull request with the changes.

thabks for the tips - im getting close! i first added the case statement to just spawn the Tasmota-Power device handler which worked fine for basic on / off :-)

Next i started on Tasmota-Dimmer by copying sample code from the Smart Things Virtual Dimmer, the Dimmer is almost workng, it will turn on / off if i adjust the dimming level between 0 and 100 but it doesnt actually adjust the level yet as I am not sure on what commands need to be sent to Tasmota.

Any tips on how to get it to actually send the dim level command to the dimmer now?

i submitted a pull request for the dimmer device handler so far.

thanks!

Honestly I didnt know Tasmota has been updated to even offer dimmer functionality. I'd like to know to see if I can update the iFan02 module handler.

i managed to figure it out and got it working :-)

I can now power on / off and adjuat the dimming level of my tuya dimmer using smartthings.

Awesome. I'd love to include it into these device handlers. Make a pull request!
