Dimmer status not reflected

[daemenseth]

When you turn off a dimmer and turn on it again in home assistant it goes to on (full power) instead of the dimmed level.

Is there something I can do to solve this issue?
The dim level is known see below

{ "ref":74, "name":"Eetkamertafel", "location":"Woonkamer", "location2":"Beneden", "value":39.0, "status":"39%", "device_type_string":"Z-Wave Switch Multilevel", "last_change":"\/Date(1608838259046+0100)\/", "relationship":4, "hide_from_view":false, "associated_devices":[ 73 ], "device_type":{ "Device_API":4, "Device_API_Description":"Plug-In API", "Device_Type":0, "Device_Type_Description":"Plug-In Type 0", "Device_SubType":38, "Device_SubType_Description":"" }, "device_type_values":null, "UserNote":"", "UserAccess":"Any", "status_image":"/images/HomeSeer/status/dim-40.gif", "voice_command":"", "misc":4352, "interface_name":"Z-Wave" },

I have the same problem, but it only happens when i restart HS4 without restarting Home Assistant afterwards.

The reason this is happening is because the component always sends the "on" value for the HomeSeer device when turning the device on, which is probably for all devices the full brightness value for the light.

The alternative is to send the last value, but is this the desired operation? It might work this way in HomeSeer but I don't think its conceptualized the same in Home Assistant. If you want to turn the light on to a certain brightness, click the entity and slide the Brightness slider to where you want.

This could be implemented as an option in Home Assistant once I upgrade the component to use the config flow (i.e. configuration via the Integrations menu rather than configuration.yaml).

Does the status of a device update from HomeSeer? I know a bunch of my lights are on in HomeSeer buy never reflect in Home Assistant
