Dear all,

I’ve got a [Icasa inbouw dimmer](https://www.bol.com/nl/p/zigbee-dimmer-230v-200-400w-fase-afsnijding-inbouw-compatible-met-philips-hue-ikea-home-smart/9200000103163310/?s2a=) for smart dimming my dinner table lights. They switch with flows and can also be switched manually by using the pulse switch on the wall.  
**What i’m trying to achieve is that the manual switch on the wall turns the lights on/off on a set dim percentage related to certain time brackets during the day.**  
Problem being is that Homey does not ‘sense’ the manual pulse button being pushed, so it cannot be used in flows.

At this moment I solved this problem by switching the lights on with a flow at certain times to adjust the dim percentage, and switching them off after that with another flow. As you can image this gives a quite complicated flow, since the lights should remain on when there is someone around.

Hopefully this properly describes the ‘problem’.

on a different note: what ‘smart inbouw dimmers’ would you guys advise? (probably over discussed in another topic;-))

Cheerio,

Wouter

Don’t know about your ‘problem’, but I would advise Dimmer2 of Fibaro or the new Qubino Minidimmer. I haven’t tested the latter, but seems to be a great dimmer with being very small and having no minimal W requirement to dim.

Little late, but the Fibaro did the job. Thx for the advice!
