I connected the KAku awmt003 to my homey pro 2023. All went well and switch was recognized and added as a button, however if I hold the button in my homey I get the message item is working wel but can not be controlled. The fisical swith is working but homey does not show the status nor can I switch from homey. There is no KAku bridge. Anemone knowing what I am doing wrong. ---

You can not switch a switch with Homey. You can if the switch is added to Homey use the switch to turn a light on or of or whatever you want to do. Use this card like @Rmb said. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/3/7306b8d9995f33607f262d307b6d5d5fdd78fd73.png) ---

It’s not a switch, it sends a command to a wallplug that switches on a lamp for example. To switch on the lamp, push the tile of the wall plug on your Homey. When you push the wall button the AWMT003 will sent a on/off command. That can trigger a flow on your Homey, using a WHEN card for the AWMT003. ---

I also connected a dimmer module behind a switch. All works well. I can switch and dim the light with the physical switch and I can do it from my phone however if I switch from the phone the button changes from grey to white and the yellow dot in the top right corner goes on. If I switch with the physical switch on the wall the light goes on but the status of the button on my phone does not change. Is this a kaku issue? ---

It is not an issue, it is “by design”. When you control the dimmer directly with the physical button, the dimmer does not send any info, as it is a receiver. So Homey can not know.
