Hey fellow homeys, Got a problem here what i can’t solve … I want to press and hold down the right butto of my switch. When I release the button the light should stop getting brighter or darker. I tried a lot but I’m not getting there … Someone can help? Pls! [Screenshot_20210801-195121_Homey]

If the button is z-wave and the light is too, associations are the best way to go. However, currently this only works if the security level of z-wave for both devices is the same. You can check here: Homey Developer Tools . If the security levels are not the same, or if you think that shouldn’t be a…

Hei Edwin, Thanks for that nice answer. Both devices are in the same security level. I downloaded transitions but I’m not sure how to use that right …

If the devices are in the same security level, then you do not need the transition. By setting an association you set a direct link between a button and a light. So you can turn a light on/off and dim without needing flows. The below description sounds difficult, but once you see how it’s done its u…

Looking that correct? First one is the dimmer and second the button [Screenshot_20210801-220557_Homey] [Screenshot_20210801-220540_Homey]

From the screenshots I would think the images are reversed from what you said. In that case it looks OK but it’s hard to tell without the manuals. If the settings are properly saved and it does not work you could also try 4.1 as the ID.

Just for asking if I get you right. I have to buttons, with one I turn on/off, with the other I want to dim. The other button needs to be in the right group like the dimmer where the lamp is connected. When they are in the same group I shouldn’t need a flow or further association for dimming the l…

It depends on how the buttons implement the association. Some buttons have one on button (long press is dim up) and an off button long press is dim down). Others have one button for on/off, where long press dims. And the best ones have many association groups that will let you figure it all out. Wh…

Thanks so much Edwin! I got the message that I have to wake up my button and I did … the settings are saved, as far as I know. I think I need the solution with assosiations … but for tonight I can’t dive in to it :smiley: Would be real nice if you could help with this when you have som time to sp…

I will give it a shot, I have time (as I’m on holiday and the weather is not great) to write a howto. But as I’m not home it will be hard to test the flows properly. May not be done tonight though, depending on when we’ll go to sleep (that is, when my wife finishes her book I guess :slight_smile: )

What a lovely answer! Just write when you have the time. I will test everything you recommend. Hope you have a enjoyable vacation and thanks again for spending time with a totaly begynner in this field :slight_smile:
