DimmerLink Not Detected on I2C: UART Mode Default Issue 26.02.2026 0 0 TL;DR: DimmerLink ships from the factory in UART mode . i2cdetect will not show address 0x50 until you send the SWITCH_I2C command ( 02 5B ) over UART at 115200 baud. Also add 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistors... I2C ac-dimmer dimmerlink troubleshooting Mehr lesen
Tasmota AC Dimmer Control via DimmerLink 26.02.2026 0 0 TL;DR: Tasmota cannot drive a phase-cut TRIAC dimmer natively. Use DimmerLink as an I2C/UART slave. On ESP32 Tasmota: write a 5-line Berry script that maps any rule trigger to an I2C register write at... ac-dimmer dimmerlink smart-home tutorial Mehr lesen
Raspberry Pi AC Dimmer Control via DimmerLink 26.02.2026 0 0 TL;DR: Direct TRIAC phase-cut from Raspberry Pi GPIO is not feasible — Linux OS jitter is 1–10 ms while TRIAC timing requires < 100 µs. Use DimmerLink as a hardware controller: RPi writes a brightness... ac-dimmer dimmerlink raspberry-pi tutorial Mehr lesen
AC Dimmer with Home Assistant: ESPHome and DimmerLink Guide 26.02.2026 0 2 TL;DR: Two integration paths exist. Path A (standard ESPHome ac_dimmer platform) is simple but causes ISR/WiFi conflicts on dual-core ESP32. Path B (DimmerLink ESPHome component) offloads TRIAC timing...

ESPHome YAML for AC TRIAC Dimmer: Standard and DimmerLink 26.02.2026 0 5 TL;DR: Two ESPHome integration methods exist. The standard ac_dimmer platform works out-of-the-box but has ISR/WiFi conflicts on ESP32. The DimmerLink external component uses a hardware controller for...

ESP32-S2/C3/H2: AC Dimmer Doesn't Work on Single-Core ESP32 26.02.2026 0 21 TL;DR: rbdimmerESP32 is designed for dual-core ESP32 (original and S3). ESP32-S2, C3, C6, and H2 are single-core. The library tries to isolate the dimmer task on a dedicated core — which is impossible... ESP32 ac-dimmer dimmerlink troubleshooting Mehr lesen
