Hi everyone,

When I long press on the 3rd button of my Zigbee remote, it doesn’t do anything until I release the button. Then the light brightness increases all the way to 100% and I cannot even turn off the light or decrease the brightness.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Ok, I got it to work this way. Single click 3rd button for it to gradually increase brightness, and double click it (or any other button) to stop the increase. The 4th button works the same way for gradual decrease of brightness.

I have been struggling to get my Shelly i4 to dim/brighten my wled in automations in HA. Got it working with a custom button card but wanted to use a momentary switch and this worked perfectly so thank you very much.
