Hi, like to thank Ted for adding the Opple switch. However, can somebody explain me how I can use this in flows? I see Button and Scene, which values to use? I have the double “old” aqara switch, but this seems to work differently. Adding was no problem, but now getting the 6 buttons to work… ---

Seems not that complex, but maybe i’m misunderstanding the question. There are, like you said, two options. Either use the scene, where you directly choose which button and what action (1x press, 2x press, release, etc) and then bind an action or you use button where you have to go to the ‘and’ section to use a tag to control the button and scene. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/2/3256fcefad2e2fcafa83f5a762ea5c29bba7a058.jpeg) or ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/c/6cd9303eafd7821fd77dfe40ba14106aacc17dfb.jpeg) Whereas the last scene tag, i’m not sure what to enter. ---

It doesn’t work for me, can’t get the Opple to work. Did you succeed ? In Homey 4.2.0 pressing one button switched all my Zigbee lamps. Homey 5.0.0 it doesn’t work anymore. Also Martijn’s suggestions don’t work. I have the 4 button version which is listed as lumi.remote.b286opcn01 ---

Hi - I just got mine to work! You need to use "A scene has been activated - Button 2 - Pressed 1x 🙂 ---

Thanks for responding. I tried that. My Opple is recognized and added, but can’t get it to work. Not even a simple notifcation. I have a 2-button and a 4-button, both don’t work. ---

@TedTolboom Mines are recognized, but don’t work. I bought them a few months ago on Ali. Listed in Homey like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/1/7164525a935ac211f26d71fd56f95f2e6df1f6cd.png) If I send you one, would you care to try? ---

You need to use WHEN „Scene has been activated“ as the trigger in the flow; then select eg. button 1 and pressed 1 time“. That usually should work. ---
