I continue to be perplexed but #homeassistant's lack of common sense options.
When a particular device turns on, I want to set a lamp to a specific brightness.
Is that option available?
No. I can toggle it, "Increase the brightness" or "decrease the brightness" but setting it to a specific value is MIA.
Who thought vague increase and decrease were useful, but not setting it to a specific value?
And yes. I can write yaml and do what I want, but really? The basic controls exposed by adding the device to a #Lovelace dashboard aren't available to a super simple automation?
But woo, glad they're focusing on voice control. That's clearly a critical function.
@rtward I'll look into that. Thank you. Frankly I'm used to other systems that expose direct control when you pick the device and am not an expert in the nuances of Homeassistant.
So if it's possible (I presume it is based on your reply) then it feels like the interface for doing so could be worlds better.
