I’ve been trying to use this automation with light.fastled integration and the brightness only changes when I let go of the button. Anyone tried this with fastleds?
Same here with flux led.
Hi everyone,
Do you think that the newer WXKG12LM Aqara buttons (the one with the shake function) will be able to do this dimming?
From what I see in their capabilities they have a long press and a long release.
Yes of course, but the ultimate test is when you do it and tell us the answer.
I am trying for some hours now but I can’t get it to work. To be honest I am not that proficient with yaml.
I copied and pasted most parts in my scripts and automations (changing the light.MY_LIGHT of course).
I am getting no errors but it is not working either.
One thing I noticed is that the new Aqara buttons have different entities and actions than the v1 ones implemented by the OP.
For example, I created an automation for a long press to increase my TV lamp’s brightness so I can see how it is implemented. I got this for the trigger:
- id: '1611265145650'
alias: Aqara Button Long Press
description: ''
trigger:
**- device_id: 026ad770558421bb3af330debf6167b2**
** domain: zha**
** platform: device**
** type: remote_button_long_press**
** subtype: remote_button_long_press**
condition: []
action:
- type: brightness_increase
device_id: d52a35e897fe3f6e804488a1616cc1d8
entity_id: light.tv_lamp
domain: light
mode: single
So the trigger part changes. The original is like this:
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: click
event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d00019df218
click_type: long_click_press
The thing is that the Aqara buttons don’t register any binary_sensor.switch.
I someone can help or understand how it can be done then feel free to tell.

Hi, for anyone interested I was finally able to (almost) make it work with the ZHA integration. The only problem I am facing now is that the script stops at the first brightness change and does not continue to brighten or dim the light fully.
I used the remote_button_long_press and the remote_button_long_release attributes so to replace the binary_sensor attribute that comes with the Xiaomi integration.
I am posting my code below and I hope it helps someone like me out there. If anyone knows how to make the script execute continuously feel free to share.
Thanks!

Edit: I have contacted jodur on this post who has figured out a workaround for the Xiaomi round button when paired through ZHA for the long press event. Let’s hope he can help on this.

Hello. I am trying to use your example to control the lights. But I can’t figure out where and how to insert the codes. Can you please advise how to set up the entire automation?
Thank you
Necroposter, who are you replying to?
