Hello there,
I’d like to set up a Shelly Dimmer 2 with an Aquara (only supports single/double click) button to cycle thru brightness based on the current value of the brightness itself, but right now a bit lost with templates/multiple conditions/actions, I’d like to ask for help if possible. What I’d like to achive is (with only using double click as I’d like to leave single to on/off):
if the light is off, double click to turn on, brightness 255
if brightness is 1-42 lets say, set it to 80
when 43-80, set to 192
etc
Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

- alias: increase brightness
trigger:
- your double-click trigger goes here
action:
- service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.your_light
data:
brightness: >
{% if is_state('light.your_light', 'on') and state_attr('light.your_light', 'brightness') | int <=42 %}
80
{% elif is_state('light.your_light', 'on') and 43 <= state_attr('light.your_light', 'brightness') | int <=80 %}
192
{% else %}
255
{% endif %}
I think that should do it.

Greatly appreciate your solution, cycling now as I wanted (0->100%->66%->33%->66%->100% and so on). Thanks a lot!
Where to insert this? I’ve tried config, lights, scripts, but I get errors. Pretty new to templates.
it’s an automation. It goes in the automations.yaml file.
I used this and changed it a bit for a script:
It goes
off > 20 > 150 > 255 > off
alias: dimmer_control_self
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: "{{ light }}"
brightness: |
{% if state_attr(light,'brightness') | float(10) <=19 %}
20
{% elif 20 <=state_attr(light, 'brightness') | float(10) <=149 %}
150
{% elif 150 <=state_attr(light, 'brightness') | float(10) <=254 %}
255
{% elif 255 <=state_attr(light, 'brightness') | float(10) %}
0
{% endif %}
Now I can use this for buttons or in lovelace or anywhere else. I add the light when I call the service:
- service: script.dimmer_control_self
data:
light: light.your_light
