 Notes:
 - For XY color, the bridge sends the brightness as the Y (luminance) component.
 - Relative dimming (DPT 3.007) maps KNX step values to small `brightness_step_pct` changes in Home Assistant.
+- For relative dimming, the bridge repeats steps until a KNX stop telegram (0 or 8) is received.
 - Color temperature mode must match the KNX telegram DPT: `relative` for 5.001, `absolute` for 7.600, `absolute_float` for DPT 9.
