I havent seen your last lines.
It is recommed to use the ButtonsDevice! The problem is, that the protocol dont support a unique switching state.
Through this circumstance pimatic inst able to know if the light are on or off.

pimatic rocks!!!
Great idea with the command device! Should be very useful for similar devices.
I tested the protocol, it’s decoding fine and recognize the remote. Switching however is not working…I have to try in closer range but I think ~5m should be okay?

So that’s bad news: my second rf switch also died on me - so they are not very stable/reliable.
I think it has something to do with another rf switch which is quite close to the LED switch.
So DON’T BUY THIS RF SWITCH!
I’ll stick with the one from @leader21 if they are really supported.
@leader21 Can you tell us if the Led Controller works?
@leader21 please close this - as this device is garbage!
the “other” led device is working, but it has disadvantages too.
i prefer to use the wifi370 controller. it is more expensive but reliable.
unfortunately the further development on that device is stuck and needs to be “pushed” a little
pimatic/pimatic#348
let’s leave this threat open, i will set a notice not to buy it.

is there now any good solution to dim a LED (stripe or lamp) with pimatic (homedruino)?
No there isn’t a “native” solution. But with wifi as the described wifi370 device. Works like a charm.
You could try to build your own dimmer device for example with an esp8266 or an attiny maybe. There have been attempts to do so and examples here at the forum somewhere.

@noxx the best way is using mysensors. Very easy and very reliable for homemade sensors.
