Hi Everyone, Complete noob coming from Hubitat. I added my first ZEN77 dimmer to Homey so I can familiarize myself before switching everything out. I added the dimmer switch to Homey with no issues. The one thing I am missing is that using the tile on the devices page I cannot simply turn on or off the switch. I have to do a long press to go in the switch and use the dimmer function. Am I missing something here? Any help will be greatly appreciated. ---

In the mobile app, anything with an OnOff function should be controllable just by short touching the device tile; For the dim function you’ll indeed have to longpress the device unfortunately. It would be so cool when you could choose to drag up/down on the device tile for dimming (which can also be very annoying by accidental dragging haha). In the web app, there are two ways to switch things OnOff, depending on the selected viewmode: Slideswitch: ![Screenshot from 2023-12-20 18-50-12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/e/4e2b6b61608ae569d6b6df6501b670f6dbab349d.png) . ![Screenshot from 2023-12-20 18-51-09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/2/c20a4d65715a635803ea2888a6fb4ecacaa38127.png) .

Hi Peter. Thank you for the reply. That is exactly my problem. In the mobile app for instance when I short press the tile nothing happens. Its as if its not a switch but only a dimmer. Only way I can turn on/off the light is by long pressing to get the dimmer window. ![thumbnail_Screenshot 2023-12-20 at 11.13.37 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/f/0f986c50c8d641008770598603265119bd357933.jpeg) ---

Wow, did not expect that at all, really odd! There’s also no on/off flowcard for When and Then, according to the shown flowcards in the app store: ![Screenshot_20231220-211322_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/3/633bdcb5920925a1c48fad5ef8f520073bd167d3.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20231220-211305_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/7/074c4d480f00587aa3cef77fe2637d94cdf8f9ec.jpeg) When I follow the ‘contact’ or ‘report issue’ links in the app store, it appears to be a known problem: > > > \*\*Describe the bug\*\* > Dimmer does not offer an on or off option therefore it isn…'t able to be used in the app and doesn't even show up for other systems like Google Home. > > \*\*To Reproduce\*\* > Steps to reproduce the behavior: > 1.

It shows up and is usable as an on/off switch and can be dimmed. It also syncs to Google home successfully.

You can continue your questions at the Github issue tracker (very often used by Homey developers). Just hit the link above. ---

Did not even think about that. Thank you! I was just surprised that such a simple function is missing. ---

I haven’t encountered this issue before. So I got the idea the OnOff function probably never was added to the device code. ---

Yup. It just sucks because I was really looking forward to getting to know Homey Pro. Now I just need to wait and see when it will get fixed before I switch from Hubitat. I also do see some other things missing as well like dim over time for example. Hope the support keeps improving as time goes on. ---

Dim over time is available for certain brands or types. Like Ikea and Hue lights as far as I know. When you mean dim over time, do you mean for an hour, like a wake-up light?: > [@The Flow Exchange(r) - Exchange Your Flows with Others!](https://community.homey.app/t/the-flow-exchange-r-exchange-your-flows-with-others/68981/47): > > When you want a light / lights to gradually dim up/down to a certain level over a longer period of time. > Like a wake-up light, or sleep-in light. > > ![Screenshot from 2022-12-19 05-08-03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/c/0cdd8f692b8b0e929a302d80af2744945b21fa78.png) > > ### Apps used: > > - [Chronograph](https://homey.app/a/nl.fellownet.chronograph) ---

Thats interesting as to why Homey would reserve functionality like this for specific brands. Shouldn’t dim over time functionality be a feature of the hub? I’ve used most of the competitor hubs before and none were restricting functionality per brand. It’s just surprising. On another note, thank you for your guidance. I will make sure to read up and continue to explore Homey Pro. The activation process was just so easy and focused on the customer experience, I am just surprised that simple things are coming up with just my first simple dimmer added. Thank you and Merry Christmas. ---

> [@Edwin\_M](#): > > Thats interesting as to why Homey would reserve functionality like this for specific brands. I’m not shure Athom dictates in favor of certain brands. Imho only app developers could tell what makes it work for certain brands/models only, OR if it just has to be added to the app code, and not every dev did? ---

That makes sense but the zooz app also has the \*official seal on it as well. ---

Just got my Homey Pro and I’ve been trying to add my Zooz Z-Wave devices. Newer devices are working fine but my older Zooz ZEN22 switches are apparently not supported. These worked perfectly in Smartthings. When added to Homey they’re added as generic Z-Wave devices. On/off works but the dimmer barely works. They will switch randomly between one of 3 brightness levels mostly independently of the dimmer level I set in the app. I also don’t see any of the controls I saw in Smartthings (led control, ramp rate, etc.) Is there any chance of getting these ZEN22 switches working? 90% of the lights in my home are this dimmer. If I can’t get it working I’m going to need to return this thing. ---

Hi Alex and welcome to the Homey Community Forum! According to the device list in the App Store, the ZEN22 device is currently not supported by the Zooz app. The only way to get it work is to contact the developer of the Zooz app and ask them for adding this device. The same goes for additional functions. Contact options can be found in the App Store. ---

Hi All, Thanks in advance. I’m trying to add a Zooz Zen04 Smart Plug into my Homey Pro. THe Zen04 is not in the current list of choices to add under WALL PLUG. Is there another way to add this device to my Homey Pro without it being a selectable item? Do I have to write a script? Is there a generic “Add Unknown Device” feature? I’m in the US if that matters. Thanks, Paul ---

I’ll answer my own question. The Zooz Zen04 Smart plug is not included on the set of includeable devices on the Zooz devices list. I ended up adding it as a homey device, and homey recognized it as a zwave device and allowed me to complete the installation as usual by adding the first 5 digits of the device nuumber. Apparently homey recognized it as a zwave receptacle. I programmed the receptacle to come one before sunset and off before sunrise, so now the transformer that runs some of my outside lighting is automated. RokRod ---

Hi Paul and welcome! Indeed, this works with a Z-Wave Smart Plug or Socket outlet, but not with other Z-Wave devices. Maybe also with a simple door/window sensor without additional special functions, but I guess that’s it. If you have other devices that are not currently supported, you can request them by contacting the app developer. Contact details can be found in the App Store. ---

Thanks DIrk. One follow up question. When you suggest contacting the developer for inclusion into Homey are you suggesting I contact the Homey ap developer or are you suggesting I contact the maker of the device for inclusion into Homey? Further you suggested “contact details can be found in the App Store”. Is there a Homey App Store? I’m new to the home automation arena, so I apprciate whatever useful information you can supply. Thanks, Paul [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-zooz-lets-build-smarter-tech-together/130214.md?page=2)
