Customize Hue Dimmer Switch

Been looking into node-red, but since they don’t have entities, I can’t figure out a proper way to do it.

I don’t use Node-red, but with the hue dimmer switches you need to work with events rather than entities.

I have about 6 of them and creating automations for each button means creating 24 individual automations, and doesn’t seem pretty.

You don’t need to create an ajtomation for each button press, one automation per Hue Dimmer switch is enough. You then need to use the choose action to distinguish between the different button presses.

There are also two AppDaemon apps for controlling Hue Dimmer Switches (and other remotes), one is Controller X and the other my own app.
