I just installed IOS 17. Now I experience that when I switch on a Hue light in the Home app it switches on but when I tap again to go to the dimmer percentage slider the slider moves , but the percentage is stuck and the light does not dim.
I searched several sources if this is a know problem.
#note: the new Home widget shows the correct percentage
iPhone XS Max, iOS 17
I just noticed the same thing. Now Apple Home no longer controls my wifi dimmer switches and swaps to just a lightbulb icon with a strike through and changes to full on or full off. The app from the switch manufacturer still dims the light switches/bulbs and Apple Home shows the percent illumination in the tile but will no longer control the brightness of the switch. This is particularly frustrating because Apple is using software update "torture" by constantly badgering us to update our iOS and other OS systems but then when we do Apple is breaking them. I just want to stay on an operating system that works and not be badgered into upgrading into broken software like this. Every time I turn on my iPad, MacBook Pro or AppleTV, I'm being begged by Apple to update the software, only to find more broken code every time.

Same thing except I’m using Nanoleaf. Can’t dim a scene with two lights. I’ve deleted and re-added the lights, and no luck. Did you ever find a solution?
I tested my hue light with the slider on my Hue bulb in the home app and it works for me. This was done on my iPad running 17.5.1
On whatever device you’re using the home App, please close the Home App and restart the device. Then test again.
Restarting my MacBook Pro doesn't help. This is a new behavior. The switch app can set a % on the dimmer switch and the Apple Home app shows this % set... then when you show controls in the Home App for that light and touch the controller the bulb icon in the slider turns into a bulb with a strike through and the light goes to full on. The Home App seems to not recognize the dimmer switches any more and thinks its just a wall switch now.
