Hello, Does someone has a flow to dim with a 1 button switch? For example with the Xiaomi Button switch. What I want is that when I hold the button it will dim up, if released and hold again within a few seconds; dim down. Thanks ---

Hi, I’ve Search for you on this forum: > [@Easiest flow for button held dim](https://community.homey.app/t/easiest-flow-for-button-held-dim/10727/8): > > That’s actually how I have it now, as I could not figure the real dimming flow out for hold out. I just have two buttons instead, so it was really easy to do it that way, because I did not need conditions for what way it dims slight_smile Does it helps you? ---

I found out that when I use relative dim it doesn’t work when binding to the hold function. When I hold it nothing happens, then I release it and it will dim 1x relative. Anyone know what can be the case? ---

@timvdhoorn with the information from the link iets possible to create the flow what you want have. I’m using the second input from a fibaro dimmer 2 for the dim loop by a hue bulb. Flow with the action “hold down”: [https://homey.app/f/Foayzk](https://homey.app/f/Foayzk) Flow to dim\_down: [https://homey.app/f/i-qyzk](https://homey.app/f/i-qyzk) Flow to dim\_up: [https://homey.app/f/cmHyzk](https://homey.app/f/cmHyzk) Flow to stop transition and change dim-up\<\>dim-down: [https://homey.app/f/\_f4zzk](https://homey.app/f/_f4zzk) Tell me when you need some help! ---
