Hi guys, I have some lights (+40) that are connected via Hue Bridge - Not hue lights but they are added via hue bridge. My issue is that there isnt any good internal “remote” for these (im using Jung LS990 wall switches that I want to continue using) as I cant use a relay - the power needs to be constant to the lights via the transformer. I know that Hue have their own battery driven model - but I hear its garbage and dont want battery driven things… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/9/79874ce6d18b025fcdaf25a07b8e0c9ccea8ecc3.jpeg) So I have bought Shelly Plus I4 Scene remote - it works perfect for turning on and off (you can add double tap/long press as well) - but cant dim with it. A friend told me about this guide where you can change the script to dim - but its to wirelessly dim an shelly relay - [Wireless dimming – The unofficial Shelly guide!](https://shelly.guide/application-guide/wireless-dimming/) - Checking here if anyone have done the guide and gotten the dim to work - is there any solution to get the I4 to work as dimmer? Anyone have any suggestion - or an alternative solution? ---

Unfortunately, I can’t program but maybe this is helpful: > [@\[HOWTO\]\[PRO\] Dim lights with buttons using transitions](https://community.homey.app/t/howto-pro-dim-lights-with-buttons-using-transitions/49988): > > This topic is to explain how you can use long press/release with a button to dim lights. Note that if you use z-wave associations you do not need this tutorial, and dimming will be smoother. But for all other cases, this will do the trick. For this tutorial I implemented one-button dimming, where the lights dim up and down until the button is released. The simpeler version: dim up with one button, dim down with another can be created using the same building blocks with ease if you get this one. … ---

Hi Hamid, Did it work? I have a similar use case. I want to buy a Nanoleaf Essentials Downlight which is a smart bulb. I want to use a Shelly i4 for turning the light on and off and dimming with long press. But I want to use the z-wave version. Regards, Stefan ---

Hi, No, the only alternativ seems to be the double tap to different stages of dimm. Best regards
