Does anyone have a recomendation for a knob like dimmer like the tradfri remote? I want to be able to read the float value of the knob and then controll either volume of sonos or light collour and saturation without having to use a phone or pc.
I like a turn like knob, not a button base controller and it has to be wireless and battery powered for mobility.
kind regards
An Aqara Cube would be a solution.
You can rotate the cube and get the rotation as flow tag. The rotation angle can be defined (e.g. 0-180° > 0…1). This decimal value can be user for dimmer or volume.
In the flow you can check the side which is upside. So you can use the cube rotation for 6 usecases.
But I don’t know if the rotation is exact enough for your needs comparing to a real wheel.
Hey Ronny, thank you.
But I saw terrible reviews of that cube. So i tried the Ikea symfonisk knob but it does not have a compatible app in Homey. So it appears as a basic zigbee device on homey and im unable to read the value out of it.
Thanks for help though​:+1:
.
This might be a possibility.
Have you tried the kaku awrt-1000 your self? And do you know if it is possible to control and read values without a propietary gateway.
So my question is can i read the values when it is directly connected to homey?
Kind regards 
No sorry, this is not in my setup.
For many devices the values are stored in variables.
I just checked on my Kaku wall switches and remote, they can trigger flows, but there’s no variable available.
That’s probably b/c Kaku doesn’t check statusses, it just sends commands.
You can solve it by creating a flow for it, and dim a smart light with dim functionality with it. The dim value of that light is stored in a variable along with the onoff state.
Using the value of that dim variable can trigger other things.
Z-Wave?
Well, Athom even has a video about the features of the Cube…
Alternative could be this Zigbee based remote: https://www.robbshop.nl/draaidimmer-hue-zigbee-draadloos-robb-smarrt
Even has the advantage to Touchlink directly to Zigbee lights
Guys thanks, the earlier mentioned “klik aan klik uit AWRT-1000” is the solution. I purchased it and I can dim the lights buy storing the values in a variable.
The benefit of this dimmer is that i dont have to own the propretiary gateway like ikea’s. Direct connection to homey possible.
The only thing i want to change about it is , that I wish i could control the step size of the dimmer. But i think i can configure something in scipts.
Kind regards.
Can you show me your flows to control and read this device?
For most devices you’ll find the matching flow cards in the app store when you select it.
