[Feature Request]
Add a possibility to use "last stored value" on the next ON command. This for the purpose to go back to the stored dimlevel next time.

Can you please clarify the meaning and the usage for the functions below, thanks!

updateAvailable()
resetUpdateFlag()
taskStop()
isBusy()

[Feature Request]
Add the possibility to use a customized fade curve since a strict linear 0-255 [0-100%] is not represented in a good way for the human eyes.

A colleague of my has used this fade algorithm for a better experience.

const unsigned char ucLinear[MAX_LINEAR] = { 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 31, 33, 36, 40, 43, 47, 52, 56, 62, 67, 73, 80, 87, 95, 104, 114, 124, 135, 148, 161, 176, 192, 210, 229, 250}

When using the One_button_dimmer example the LEDs are flickering while the DIM_UP or DIM_DOWN function is called. Trying to understand how to change behavior to get a smoother dimmer without flickering.

I suppose the _updatedInterval in the DimmerControl.cpp handle this?
_updateInterval = (byte)((_valueMax - _valueMin)/ 10) + 1;

My configuration today is, valueMax = 100 and valueMin = 0. Meaning (100-0)/10+1 = 9.
But what does that really mean in terms of update intervall frequency?

Found this intressting project which I want to try out. My plan is to integrate a dimmer using a NodeMCU (esp8266) with my home automation hub Homey. The LEDs I want to control is 12VDC mounted in my kitchen and today contoled by Nexa M-Spot

Before starting of I have some questions.

1. Any specific adaptions in the code needed for NodeMCU more than pinout
2. What PWM frequency is used, didn´t find this easily in the code
3. Do you have a hardware sketch example with needed MOSFET driver etc.

Thanks in advice!
