WLED/DDP Effect blocks brightness setting

When setting up the KaufBulb ( fw 1.913(y), ESPHOME 2023.8.3.) and setting the Bulb Effect to use WLED/DDP the brightness stops working from WLED. Is there a workaround to be able to use these bulbs with WLED without losing the brightness/dimming functionality?

If you turn the light entity off in Home Assistant then it will use the brightness from WLED.

I've been trying different configs and the only way to get the brightness to work from WLED is to turn off the bulb in HA as well as on ESPHOME on the bulb, like in the screenshot below. The issue here is that the max brightness is much lower that with the Kauf Bulb On setting, or with it ON in HA. Not sure why in WLED I can't seem to get the bulb to the full brightness, despite both color and general brightness set to max.

I did try and set these up in WLED as DDP RGBW but that didn't make a difference, so wondering if perhaps when used in HA it's also using the White LED's and in WLED only the RGB ones?
