Long-pressing a IKEA Trådfri dimmer to cont dimming

Configuration
1

I’m using a IKEA Trådfri dimmer with deconz to dim certain lights. I’ve got it configured to turn on and off for short press (event 1001 and 2001) and to dim for long press (event 1002 and 2002). As seen in the code snippet below I’m using fixed steps of 75 to step through the dimming.
However this means that if I want to dim it down quite low, e.g. 3 steps I then have to long-press and release x3.
How can I change this to continue dimming while the button is being pressed (either say 1 fixed step per 0,5s… or just continuously dim in a seamless way while its being pressed).

I’ve seen node red solutions, but I was thinking there might be a yaml solution too?
