Jittering slider when input and output are equal

Dashboard
1

Hello,

when I feed the slider for my brightness with the current value and also set the same value when changing the slider I get the problem that the slider starts jittering and the brightness values are jumping around.

My flow looks like this:

How do I prevent this behaviour? I want my slider to mirror the current birghtness value as well as set the value with it.

Best regards

Can you export a flow showing the problem, maybe use link nodes instead of mqtt. Presumably you have disabled Pass Through in the node.

This is my flow:

In the slider there is no option to pass through the message. I see this option only for the button but that element is not the problem.

Did you see that comment?

See the comment under my code. I can't see any option in the slider settings.

There is only this option:

Oh, yes, sorry I never realised that node does not have a pass through option, which makes it rather different to the switch node, for example.
Unfortunately because of using mqtt it is not easy to run your flow. Could you make a simple example using link nodes instead? Put a small delay if necessary. Also don't include any non-core nodes if possible. Inject nodes can be used to simulate data.
