I've got 4 light bulbs in one lamp grouped trough helper. No issues with showing one switch and control brightens on the dashboard. However I'd like to dim light trough STYRBAR Ikea remote. Adding automation unfortunately doesn't allow me to pick this helped. Do i need to add each bulb or I missed something in helper configuration?

Are you using a blueprint to create the automation for the Styrbar? Is your group showing up as a light entity in HA?

Don't know what bluprint means....

#

groups looks like lights and on darshboard acts like it.

#

OK. I got bluprint. Still... It's nice "package" but I cant choose my helper as device to dim up/down

whats the entity_id of your light group?

light.cornerlamp

#

It's not visible in devices when I'm trying to set up dimming. When I add light (not device) then only option available is to turn it on and off

#

light.turn_on should offer an option to change the brightness

#

although i believe all entities in the group need to support a function for the group to support it, so if all the entities dont have a brightness level function the group wouldnt iirc
