dzvents and BILRESA remote control with scroll wheel

[hkhk]

I'm trying to get this (IKEA BILRESA) device to work with dzvents.
I use latest Domoticz with latest Zigbee2MQTT.
In Zigbee2MQTT the device is marked as supported.
Domoticz sees the device(s) (which are all created as on/off switch) and Mydevice_brightness_move_to_level is supposed to expose action_level that should represent the level of rotation of the dial (1..255).
Checking with MQTT Explorer this is indeed what MQTT receives.
eg: {"action":"brightness_move_to_level","action_group":21658,"action_level":125,"action_transition_time":0.1,"battery":97,"identify":null,"linkquality":80,"voltage":null}
But checking dzvents dumpSelection('attributes'), it does not contain any attribute that could represent action_level. It could be levelVal, level or lastLevel but those are always zero.

What am I missing here?

One addition: I use MQTT Auto Discovery in domoticz

Are you on latest domoticz and latest zigbee2mqtt? As zigbee2mqtt changed the action templates in v2.x and it needs a recent domoticz version to support this.

[hkhk]

Domoticz v2026.1 (build 17652) and Zigbee2MQTT-v2.9.2

Did you check in Domoticz for all devices that are attached to the zigbee node for your IKEA BILRES (in menu setup-devices)
As it could create a device for every action (I am not a zigbee2mqtt user, so not sure) and you perhaps did not notice that or did not activate that device in Domoticz.

If not then create a github issue according the intructions mentioned in wiki page https://wiki.domoticz.com/MQTT_AD_Report_Problems

I think this is a matter device

Yes it is but it can be switched to Zigbee mode (as mentioned in the Zigbee2mqtt docs).

IDX 2828 seems to be the device for brightness level settings but seems to be created as an on/off device in Domoticz.

Indeed an on/off switch. But reading the comments in home assistant fora, where it seems to work fine, I don't think it is a Zigbee2MQTT issue.
Also checking MQTT server with MQTT explorer, shows the level value (action_level) is there.

Then create a github issue on MQTT-AD with the instructions as mentioned before

It has nothing to do with dzvents. The device seems to be strange (on/off switch). I would expect a dimmer kind of device.

@walter, If we are talking about the BILRESA remote control, it is indeed a on/off switch (or you can change the type), it is not a dimmer/light, it is a remote control (button)

It is a remote with also rotating knob that sends a dimmer value. You can also push on the knob and then it can act as an on/ff switch. But it definitely has a rotating knob.
