Hey guys, i was wondering. I think it does not work they way i would like, and i dont want to blow up a switch to try it, but i have the folowing. I installed the hue wall switch on a single button, however i have another button within this wall, that has a dumb bulb on it. Can someone verify it is NOT possible to make the dumb ceiling light go on, and NOT to fry the hue switch? Still waiting for the hp2023 to arrive, otherwise there must have been an option to do it the way i would want to, (actually i did once already, with a way cheaper KAKU switch). ![IMG_4581](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/e/be3669385a439e6ae4841da3569d74f687cbb8ec.jpeg) ---

I have this issue as well, but then when I do not connect any live wire. Basically HOmey sees botch push buttons as the same (button 1). I emailed Homey, they just toss it back to the community. Seems a bit wild tbh that the biggest brand (Hue) is nog properly supported. Both are premium priced, I find this a bit disturbing tbh. Considering Im adding this 2 years after you its pretty clear no fix is coming. ---

This is the Hue Wall switch. It has no push buttons? Can you please add a link to the product you’re referring to? Makes things much easier. ![1000049207](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/4/34544fb8b74ec26f0b5a36dec87fd35dbbf45e65.jpeg) ![1000049209](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/3/53b5cfc9773b6e3ffda7ac3efd8bdb4425a8e067.jpeg) ---

Hi Peter, Yes this is the one. The Hue has 2 sets of wires that can be connected to either traditional switches or to push switches (switches that bounce back to their initial state after pressing). I connected 2 push switches to the hue. One to each set of wires (yellow and white). Works like a charm, but issue is that homey sees them both as push button 1 once you make a flow with them. ---

Check! Do you use it with a Hue hub in between, or with the Hue-without-the-bridge app, Nick? ---

Hi, without the hue bridge. I even tried it but that doesnt work combined with the (many) tradfri lights and buying a bridge only for this switch seems a bit much… ---

Nothing you can do atm. The issue is reported multiple times, and it"s known to the dev: > > > I have two switch modules and deleted them both after the update to 2.0.51. Afte…r adding them again, one switch works correctly. Both rockers can be triggered separately after setting it to Dual Rocker mode. For the other module, one rocker is working correctly, the other one is not. When I toggle that rocker (2nd input), the action of the 2nd input of the other switch module is triggered. > > After some experimentation, I found that the 1st input on both switch modules is always working correctly. For the second input, it's always the action of the module that has been added last that will be triggered when the 2nd input of either module is toggled.
