Hello

I have an issue i hope anyone can help with.

I have a Philips Hue Dimmer, where i have a configuration that turns on the light in one section when i press on, and another configuration where i turn on all lights in all section when i hold on in for a few seconds.

Now the issue: If i make a flow on the Hue Dimmer on button is pressed, it only covers the press, and not the hold. So i can’t create a flow on hold? So i need to press on, and then afterwards hold on. Any suggestion so solve this?

Perhaps it’s simpler to start a flow with a Dim-up hold. The trigger card offers hold possibilities for only for dim buttons.
