Dimmer item on_off_topic not working per config.yaml template

[bfranske]

Switch items can be controlled like mosquitto_pub -t "insteon/17.4d.c8/set" -m 'on' but the same syntax does not work for dimmer items e.g. mosquitto_pub -t "insteon/40.b2.b9/set" -m 'on' returns:

2017-12-07 00:33:57 INFO Dimmer: Dimmer message insteon/40.b2.b9/set b'on'

Even though the Dimmer template section of the config.yaml file has:

on_off_topic: 'insteon/{{address}}/set'
on_off_payload: '{ "cmd" : "{{value.lower()}}" }'

It seems this template is not being applied and the level payload template is and it is looking for mosquitto_pub -t "insteon/40.b2.b9/set" -m '{ "state" : "off" }' which does work.

Thanks for finding this. Dimmer had the on/off command signal connected to the wrong callback.
