Hue dimmer to actually dim a light

[hijinx (James)]

Hi @Martin_Granger

How are you adding and supporting your hue dimmer switch?
As far as I can tell there is no native support from the hue hub or light components:

Philips Hue

Are you polling via hue API via the RESTful sensor?
Or this custom component?

Hue motion sensors + remotes: custom component

Finally got around to creating a custom component for the Hue motion sensors and 4 button remotes. Please note that I don’t think reducing the SCAN_INTERVAL will make much practical difference. Please let me know any config or usage issues here, technical issues (i.e. related to the actual .py file) please submit on Github. Cheers See: [hue]

Or some other method?

Trying to work out what is the current best practice for these remotes…

Thanks for the inputs…
