Show slider value (percentage) when turned off

[gryzli133]

I use Dimmer object to control my irrigation system (MySensors). Values 0-90 are remaining irrigation minutes. Numbers 91-100 are special status numbers. Like interlocking because other section is active already (97) or the water pressure is too low (98) etc. Would be nice to see the exact slider value even when turned off.

Thank you anyway for your superb addon!

Try 17.1.0

Do I need any extra setting/option? I will check it later, need to adjust back my arduino sketch

Sorry. I misread this. 17.1.0 does not add this functionality.

[gryzli133]

will you add it in the feature? The best would be to define it with an extra setting, because the most dimmers are better when showing 0% when off, just in customized devices like my irrigation system it would make sens to show the % even when turned off

[thomasloven]

Honestly it's unlikely I'll add this, for exactly the reason you state.
But I'll keep this open and think it over.

I think this really only makes sense with toggle: true but I still find value in this request. I want to be able to set brightness to the minimum value before turning a light on without having to fiddle with the slider carefully. Right now I do this by setting min: 1, sliding the slider to any higher value (without letting go so the light doesn't turn on), and releasing it back at the minimum value. This still has the undesirable effect of turning the light on at a higher brightness briefly before the minimum value is set because my device can't handle the two commands (adjust + on) fast enough.
