Smart Home Brightness Trait Schema

action.devices.traits.Brightness - This trait covers how to control the brightness of a device. Absolute brightness setting is in a normalized range from 0 to 100 (individual lights may not support every point in the range based on their LED configuration).

Device ATTRIBUTES

Attribute	Definition
commandOnlyBrightness	Boolean. Optional. Defaults to false. Indicates if the device operates using one-way (true) or two-way (false) communication. For example, if the controller can confirm the new device state after sending the request, this field would be false. If it's not possible to confirm if the request is successfully executed or to get the state of the device, set this field to true.

Device STATES

State	Definition
brightness	Integer. Current brightness level. Ideally, this is the number that was set versus the rounded point (for example, if the user sets it to 65%, but the device has to round to 10% increments, ideally this would still return 65%).
