@TedTolboom  
In the old forums there was talk (i think from you) that there may be a way for the Xiaomi switches to be able to do dimming when held down - have you managed to get anywhere with this?

Is this possible with the battery powered switches as well?

Would be fantastic in combination with the hack outlined here:
