(Moes) Rotary dimmer for controlling smart lights

Hi!
I want an EU-size rotary dimmer to control my smart lights, to make my smarthome more accessible. For my plans I need a rotary knob that sends turn information (steps or continuous) and triggers like pressing once, twice, three or long press.

I saw this rotary dimmer on AliExpress, it seems like it is made for connecting normal lights. I wonder if I could use this without the lights and make it control other smart lights. I have no clue if this is even possible and or how I would receive the triggers.

Do any of you know?

Yes, I’m also using this to change brightness for my wifi lights

Thank you!

How does homeassistant receive you pressing the knob? Does it have long press?

@ferbulous

No long press with this one

I’d recommend getting ikea zigbee remote/dimmer button for the long press
