Hi!

I just got the Homey Pro and I have no experience with home automation before so I am in need of some help. I have several Hue lamps in my living room and a Namron 8 channel switch. I’m trying to get the switch to cycle through different Hue scenes with a button for next scene and a button for previous scene, but with no luck.

I’ve read several other threads with the same challenge and what I’ve figured out is that I need to use the logic and variable features, but I cannot figure out how.

If a patient soul would like to assist me it would be appreciated!

Think about something like this:

> [@Hue Dimmer Switch first, second time pressed](https://community.homey.app/t/hue-dimmer-switch-first-second-time-pressed/92784/2):
>
> It’s not in the flowcards, then it would be called ‘start a scene’. Other apps do have such cards, and a scene can consist of “pressed 1x”, “pressed 2x”, “long-pressed” and so forth. In this case you have to build a ‘button pressed counter’ yourself, and I recommend you request at Athom (the Philips Hue app builder) to add this ‘scene’ functionality to the app. I once built this flowset to dim a light to 20%, 30%, 50%, 100% and back to 0% / off with one push button (I didn’t had advanced flow…

I think I have seen a Advanced Flow also with something similar

Could you share this flow for cylcing trough? Thats exactly what I want to achieve.

Press once: turn on/off.

Press 2x: cycle trough different dimming states (on each double press). Maybe even better on long press cycle trough every second.
