OH3 Dimmer item and recurring loop on received command

Im getting a dimmer items that are sending a command when their state is updated.
Using MQTT i have a dimmer item for my dining room bulb
The state command is

zigbee2mqtt/DiningRoomBulb

Basically. on OH2 this same item works fine, receives the state when the main wall switch is turned on and the item comes online
oh3 when the state is updated, and the dimmer is on the screen. it keeps jumping up and down by a few percent.
my logs then look like this

just posting as I got a similar issue here.
I tried a few things (i.e. changing the semantic properties etc.), nothing worked till now.

I have another issue where if i have a groups item who which look at the child items which have dimmers, and have the group averaging, then the group sends commands when it reads the states of the childs items.
