Hi there, I'm trying to set the brightness of a dimmer switch without turning it on. The latest version always turns on the light when setting the brightness via the command kasa --host master-bathroom-toilet-light --type dimmer brightness 25

If I revert to 0.6.2.1 then it works as expected by changing the brightness without turning on the light.

It looks like it's been a known issues since last year, but issue was closed without solving. I also find it very frustrating not having this ability.

Issue #1066

I had to use a workaround by spinning up 0.6.2.1 in a container with a rest api and then I call it using a rest_api action in home assistant. Took me a few hours to do since I didn’t know what I was doing. 😬

0.7.0.dev0...0.7.0.dev1 is the change that broke it.

...looks like the IotDimmer._set_brightness code still exists in the latest versions, though... hmm...

@viperk1 I have a custom component I am using to set the brightness of a Kasa dimmer from Home Assistant without turning it on.

Just updated it to use the latest version of python-kasa (was using 0.6.2.1 previously), and published it: https://github.com/abraha2d/ha_kasa_helper

(first time publishing a home assistant component... I'll try to get it HACS compatible at some point)
