set probably needs to get the new attributes, too?  
I looked at other similar use cases (such as wol, debug) and it doesn't
seem to be needed?
Sorry, you're right, they are propagated using a YAML alias.

Don't we need to inform DIM somehow that profile has switched
and it should restart itself?  
When the profile is modified, dim itself is a dynamic adjustment mechanism
and will quickly adjust to the appropriate value according to the new profile.
This is also seen in practice.
Okay, perhaps add a comment to that effect?
Ok. Will add in the next version.

Thanks.
