Light brightness cannot be adjusted (using HomeKit Connector with Aqara M2) #4291
Description
Describe the issue you are experiencing
I spent quite a long time testing before finally finding the reason why Home Assistant cannot control the brightness of my light strips. After repeated tests and comparisons, I discovered:
• The same light strip works fine with the Aqara M1S — brightness can be adjusted in HA (latest firmware: 4.3.6.0029.0024).
• On the Aqara M2, brightness cannot be adjusted. The brightness slider appears in HA, but it has no effect (latest firmware: 4.3.8.0021.0652).
Not sure if HomeKit Connector can be improved to fix this issue. Thanks!
