Blebox wLightBoxS v2	Not working	Broken in Home Can't dim LED strip from Home	Brightness control limited to on/off; fixed after report Saved copy The problem After setting Blebox device some of its functions doesn't work. Being more specific I can't dimm led via HA or Homekit (but this is related to problem in HA i think). The variable switch works only fully on or fully off. Only two separate variable switches work: colour brightness and white brightness; when using them I can't completely dimm led strip (white or colour). When I set 0% nothing changes and I need to turn the whole device off which is annoying. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? core-2022.4.5 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.

Limitations from the docs

Some device settings can only be changed using the wBox app. After changing these settings, reload the affected device by going to Settings > Devices & services, selecting the device, and selecting Reload.
Some devices are not directly supported as Home Assistant entities and can be integrated using webhook automations instead.

In ReReHome

Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
