Hi, I’ve bought the Phillips hue with the dimmer switch, and I’ve made flows so the on and off and dimming up and down works pretty much as it did before I connected them with homey, but the dimmer switch had one more option, it was if I pushed the on button more times after the lamp turned on it wo…

I‘ll try to get an answer regarding this topic as well! PLEASE HELP😀

I have asked this before. It is not implemented in the Atom Hue app. I have filed a request a month ago.

I know a scene can be started with the dimmer switch. But… Only 1 scene, triggered by an ON command. The dimmer / switch itself (so, without Homey) can start 5 scenes by multiple pressing the ON button.

The hue api does not bring out the amount of times a button was pressed, it only offers what button was pressed last, and what type of press it was: initial press; hold; short released; long released; and as it is you only can poll the state, a 50 millisecond or so poll rate isn’t very advised to…

[image] Eternity: I know a scene can be started with the dimmer switch. But… Only 1 scene, triggered by an ON command. You can start any number of scenes, triggered by an On command. Just use a variable. In a fixed order and, if you want, also randomly.

Clever! And I have to confess I even had made a similar flow in the past (with a Fibaro switch): https://homey.app/f/SGt1-2
