Create a Dimmer UI control that supports on/off independent of level

---

Zigbee/Wink store dim levels independently of on/off. So a device can be turned of and still remember its last level. Wink supports it for ZWave devices as well although Zwave devices don’t inherently do this. Homekit also supports this concept.

The DimmerAcutator is based on Switch so the class structure in Pimatic supports this too but UI doesn’t. It would be great to have a UI widget that supports this

Actually just realized - user experience capability can be achieve simply by reflected the on/off state on the switch without changing the dim position - colour change could it - because there nothing wrong with the actual acuatation behaviour - my device itself sets them independently. And in my derived class I have separated the state behavior from on/off

So even when its off it shows the correct dim level. To turn it back on all I have to do is give a little nudge.

Only if there was a visual style that could indicate the state - it would solve the issue.

I have tried to dig into the UI code but can’t figure out where dimmer is.
