Hello Nordic Team,
I recently encountered an issue similar to the one discussed in the post [Matter] Apple Home cannot identify light_switch example .After testing multiple device types, I found that only generic switche is recognized by Apple Home, while dimmer switches appear unsupported. My observations suggest this might relate to Apple’s lack of Binding Cluster implementation, as previously discussed in the community.
To address this, I have two key questions:
1. Brightness Control via Level Cluster:
Is it possible to bypass Apple’s current limitations and programmatically control brightness through the `LevelControl` cluster in Matter (e.g., sending direct commands via Node/Endpoint IDs), even if dimmer switches are not natively supported?
2. Alternative Approaches:
Are there any **non-standard workarounds** (e.g., custom cluster implementations, gateway-level interventions, or firmware tweaks) to enable dimming functionality in Apple Home today, or must we wait for Apple to officially support the Binding Cluster?
Any insights or experimental solutions would be invaluable for our development efforts.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
