Hi there,

i have 2 hue tap dial switches that i use to switch hue/non hue lights on and off. in the hue app you can set the switch up so that when you press and hold for 3 seconds the lights will turn off. when i tried to configure the tap dial switch in hue advanced flow i could not find this long press option, does anybody know how if i could make it work?

the reason for this is because i cant otherwise pair my non hue lights with the switch.

In the Hue app you find intergrations. Under smart home you can add a connection to other apps which will generate a code.
