Flickering/inconsistent light output #5

I'm experiencing issues with the ligth intensity not being constant. It works well when the brightness is high but when you start to dim the light it begins flickering. It's not super obvious but enough to be constantly noticeable. I'm aware that LEDs are not optimal for dimming and initially I thought this was the cause of the flickering. However I've since then replaced the light bulb with a halogen bulb, more simuitable for dimming, but the issue remains. I've searched but can't seem to find any information about this issue or possible solutions, maybe I'm using the wrong terminology(?)

Is this a known issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I'm living in sweden where we have 230v 50Hz mains voltage, could that be an issue?

Greatful for any and all help!

Kind regards, Martin

Hey @mhill0502,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. This isn't an issue I'm experiencing and I suspect this is a hardware issue, nothing to do with the code. Are you using an LED bulb, an incandescent or a halogen bulb? As for the mains voltage, I believe this device is rated to work at global mains voltages.
