Stopping Matter lights flashing at their previous brightness
A Claude Code-assisted Tasmota change delays a light's turn-on briefly so a separately arriving brightness command can be applied first.

The full story
The author recorded Apple Home sending turn-on and brightness commands tens or hundreds of milliseconds apart, making a previously bright light flash before dimming. The proposed Tasmota option holds the turn-on long enough to combine the commands.
The source distinguishes an earlier HTTP-only version tested on hardware from the exact proposed branch, which had compilation and host tests but had not been flashed. Local, MQTT, virtual and Zigbee lights were tested on the host only.
