There are projects that allow cycling through scenes with a button press on a Hue dimmer, such as this community post or this scene toggle blueprint. There are also HACS integrations for dynamic scenes, similar to the Hue app. However, I hadn’t seen a solution that combines both features.
This script lets you cycle through dynamic scenes in multiple areas using a single configuration. It supports multiple devices, each with unique area mappings, and cycles through scene presets on each button press.
Instructions
- Create a helper with type Number and name it
current_preset_index. - Add the following automation to your configuration.
alias: Toggle over scenes when clicking on hue remote
