Your blueprint is working great, do you guys use ‘Hold in’ to increase or decrease brightness of for example HUE lamp?
Can somebody explain how to dim with button press and hold?
Nice job! Now am I missing something or does this not recognize grouped devices under zha? (i.e. light.breezeway_lights_zha_group_0x000c created by zha containing 6 light bulbs). I don’t see this entity being listed in the devices selection drop down. (or any of my zha group entites)
@Dixey, this will be your solution:
Action type=Service
Service=Light: Turn on
Pick entity=light.breezeway_lights_zha_group_0x000c
good luck!

Can somebody help me with dimming? I tried the following, but it does not work. It does not change the state of the helper “input_boolean.light_switch_stube_ost_dimming”
Thanks for helping

here my blueprint code:
alias: New Automation
description: ''

I have found the error. The blueprint is not correct:
In the blueprint you have to change all long-press events:
- conditions:
- '{{ event == "3_long press" }}'
to this one:
- conditions:
- '{{ event == "3_hold" }}'
And then restart HA.

Did you update the blueprint with these changes?
Nope. How can i do that?
Temporaly i changed the blue print in my local Installation
The blueprint isn’t picking up my Opple remote - dropdown box just says “No matching devices found”. I’ve got the same model switch that the author was using (lumi.remote.b686opcn01), this has been added and showing up in deconz, i’ve even been able to create an automation to switch a light on with a press of one of the buttons - and this is successful.
Anything i could be doing wrong? Does it need to be named in a certain way for the blueprint to pick it up?
The Blueprint is for ZHA, not Deconz (assuming you meant that).
Hi there, any Ideas whats going wrong?

This device just works like this.
The other issue with Aqara Opple is not sending the release event at all when long pressing:
https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/3524
I suspect there’s an error later in the automation. My step 2 reads the same as yours, and I have no issue.
Try selecting the next step (3rd icon down in the tree), and see if you can locate the “dict object” it is referring to.
Also use the blueprint and had problems since Christmas but didn’t get around to it, just reloaded the integration and everything worked again.
I fixed it in my local installation, to make the hold in function work (again).

Thanks to [gilbert-grape] for pointing out the necessary changes!
How can we update the original blueprint? Or should i post a new one?
Hi there,
The original blueprint triggers systematically an action twice for each event.
I d’ont know if it’s due to my setting or if it’s the same for all users.
If I associate a permute/toggle action to a button it will not work as it will double trigger causing the switch being in its original state.
I found a workaround by modifying the blueprint.
Forcing single mode worked for me
mode: restart to mode: single in the blueprint
Am I the only one impacted by this ?
I’m not seeing double actions and have been testing with the toggle on light and switch entities here.
Very nice little remote for one-shot actions, but I just discovered that none of the buttons support repeating. That means this thing is somewhat useless for use with dimmers or volume control. 
Can anyone recommend any other Zigbee models that have working repeat?
Super newb here… I’m trying to find where one can add a blueprint from a code block? Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I’m not seeing the usual “import automation” button.
Configuration > Blueprints > Add Blueprint (bottom right corner button)
Then paste the URL of this page into the blueprint text box.
I don’t suppose there are any solutions/workarounds for this behaviour? I’ve found this thread after setting up very similar hold-to-dim/brighten functionality via Node-Red. It seems like a bit of a disappointing cop-out (from the manufacturer, not you @visstro) to say that the release event only works as expected for a particularly short hold event. All I’ve come up with so far is using a step of 20% and interval of 1s so that the full brightness range is covered and a timeout can be forced after 5s.
