In version 0.6.2.1 the following command would change brightness without turning on a dimmer (an HS220US in my case).

kasa --host 192.168.xxx.xxx brightness 10

I have not been able to achieve the same results in 0.7.0 or later. This was an extremely desirable function for me, because I could keep brightness levels consistent throughout the house without turning on each light. Is it possible that this functionality can be restored for the devices that it previously worked with?

I am aware that there has been ongoing debate issues similar to this, where some people did want the lights to turn on every time in a single command. Previously the solution to that issue was to include a tiny transition along with the brightness command. Is that no longer the case?
