without doing a template device, is there some way i'm missing to make these devices act as dimmable lights instead of a binary on/off light with a seperate level entity?
the light entities have a brightness property, i'm not sure why matter is doing a second entity instead of a dimmable light: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/light/#properties

With the second level you mean "On level"? That's (I assume) only the level to turn on to. Not what you use to set brightness.
Did you click the "Kitchen lights" entity? That should just show you a slider to set the brightness.

ever have one of those moments where you feel stupid 😂 thanks
looks like eve also takes a change to 'on level' to set the current light level, i must have been looking at the wrong switch earlier.

@frank swallow Maybe you could help another user because you own the Eve Dimmer: https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1383664063665541210
We were looking for someone who has the Eve App to set MinLevel/MaxLevel and see what attribute changes in the diag file.

Can do, give me a bit.

You would need to:
This might enable you to find the associated attribute number in the Eve cluster.

Did over in the other thread 🙂 feel free to yell if y'all need someone to poke things more.

"on level" is specifically intended to be the level that the light (or dimmer) turns on to when you turn it on using a command (or e.g. locally pressing a switch or after power loss) without saying what level to turn on at. It's a separate thing from the current light level.
the "on level" attribute is supposed to default to a special value - which I believe is shown as 255 in the home assistant ui - which means "remember the last brightness used".
if you would prefer the light always turns on at a set level, rather than remember the last used level, you can use this entity to configure a specific brightness.
