I got a Shelly Dimmer 2 that I wrote some automation for to increase the brightness when my TV turns off, and it’s not already above a certain brightness.

The automation works fine, except for the brightness condition. I assumed that the brightness attribute of the entity would be equal to what is shown in the toggle button in the dashboard. For example, this is the toggle for that entity when it is on and set to 20%. As you can see in the settings of that toggle button, it belongs to that entity. But in the developer tools, the brightness value of that entity is completely different (51):
I am very confused by this and must be gettings something completely wrong. Where are the brightness values of that entity coming from, how can I reference the value that I as a simple user can see in the UI of the dashboard button, and how am I supposed to discover this myself?
