Possible issue with E1743

[tabearu]

Question

Hello everyone. First of all, love the project.
I've recently bought an E1743 and have been trying to set it up without access. I've managed to get on/off working but brightness is never working no matter the settings. I always receive entity unknown even though the entity exists in homeassistant.

Additional information

• Devices involved:

  • Model: IKEA E1743 as Controller
  • Sonoff USB 3.0 Dongle Plus

• Integration: z2m

• AppDaemon version: 4.2.3 & 4.2.1

• ControllerX version: 4.26.2

• HACS version: 1.32.1

• Home Assistant Core version: 2023.5.2

Please note that I'm running everything in docker.

AppDaemon app configuration

# this is working for on/off
ikea_tradfri_switch_1:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1743Controller
  integration: z2m
  controller: sensor.ikea_tradfri_on_off_switch_1_action
  light: light.rooflight
  
# this is not working at all
ikea_tradfri_switch_1:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1743Z2MLightController
  integration: z2m
  controller: sensor.ikea_tradfri_on_off_switch_1_action

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and would appreciate all help.

I am in a similar situation, although in my case E1743Controller works fine (on/off as well as dimming), but indeed, I cannot get E1743Z2MLightController to work at all :(

BTW - have you set the lagacy: False ? (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/E1743.html)
