Light Dimmer
A light dimmer controls both the on/off state and the brightness of a connected light. It brings smooth, scheduled, and scene-based lighting to fixtures that would otherwise only switch fully on or off.
A dimmer varies the power delivered to a light so Home Assistant can set any brightness level, not just on or off. Wired dimmers fit behind an existing switch or inside the fixture, and many work with or without a neutral wire and detect the load type automatically.
How Selora AI uses dimmers
- Adaptive lighting that ramps brightness to match the time of day or a circadian schedule.
- Scene control so a single trigger sets coordinated brightness levels across a room.
- Comfort recipes such as a gentle wake-up fade or a dim path-light level late at night.
Why dimmers matter for installers
A dimmer upgrades ordinary fixtures into tunable lighting without rewiring the room. Local control keeps the physical switch responsive and brightness presets working even when the internet is down.
