Hi,

I saw the video from Technithusiast and was wondering if anyone has a Hue Wall Tap Dial and was able to do the same?

Video - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHH9eILY\_zU](https://video)

Asking before I buy one.  
Would love to dim only the selected light as he was able to do.

Wondering if using a variable for each button would do the trick or how would you guys say this would work?

Thanks

Regarding your question:

It should be possible to do this using logic variables.  
For example, if you turn on the light at the “dining table,” a text variable should be set to “dining table.” If you then turn the dial and in the _ **And…** _ section the text variable is connected and set to “dining table”, then only the brightness of the “dining table” light will be adjusted.

Hi, sorry for late reply.

That sounds good. Then I would definitely get one. Let’s see if they drop in price this month.  
Thank you!
