You can get around the dimming cycle thing by having the PC send
"group"
on/off commands to the device, rather than the usual unit code. It's
the kind of command sent by the keyfob controllers - you'll notice that
repeated on commands from one of those doesn't start the cycle.
This is something we support in xPL - I can't speak for other HA
software though.
