Hue dimmer to actually dim a light

Configuration
13

BTW I used a brighness script with my xiaomi buttons - hold to cycle brightness up and down and release to keep.
Actually its a bit unreliable, so does not get used much.

  alias: "Brightness lights"
  sequence:
  - service: homeassistant.turn_on
    entity_id: light.hallway
    data_template:
      transition: 1
      brightness: '{% if states.light.hallway.attributes.brightness%}{{(states.light.hallway.attributes.brightness+25)|min(255)}}{% else %}25{% endif %}'
  - service: script.turn_on
    entity_id: script.brightness_lights_temp

brightness_lights_temp:
  sequence:
  - delay: '00:00:01'
  - service: script.turn_on
    entity_id: script.brightness_lights

This is the trigger:

# Click and hold dimmer
- alias: "Brightness Downstairs Lights Button"
  trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: click
      event_data:
        entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d0000eff19a
        click_type: long_click_press
  condition:
   - condition: state
     entity_id: light.hall_by_front_door
     state: 'off'
   - condition: state

     state: 'off'
  action:

    entity_id: script.brightness_lights
