Philips Hue Dimmer Switch issues

Hi,
I am trying to create an automation so when I click on the power on button of the Philips Hue Dimmer Switch it turns on my fan (driven by a simple wifi switch).
Is anybody able to help, I’ve tried the below logic however is not working.

  • id: ‘1552121464314’
    alias: Turn on fan downstairs
    trigger:
    • entity_id: sensor.downstairs_bathroom_light
      from: ‘off’
      platform: state
      to: ‘on’
      condition:
      action:
    • data:
      entity_id: switch.outside_light
      service: switch.turn_on

I’m not sure if your formatting is correct and there’s some unnecessary/incorrect properties. I believe it’s data_template not data in your action for e.g. but you don’t need that in this case.

Try this:

- id: "1552121464314"
  alias: Turn on fan downstairs
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.downstairs_bathroom_light
    from: "off"
    to: "on"
  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.outside_light

Note that this is not interacting with your Hue dimmer switch, but reacting to what the switch controls.

Thanks, I have this working the way I want, for reference the code is below. I am triggering when the light turns on since it can be switched on by more than just the dimmer switch (ie. Philips Hue app).

- id: '1552118098484'
  alias: Turn on fan when switch downstairs bathroom light triggers
  initial_state: true
  trigger:
  - entity_id: light.downstairs_bathroom_light
    from: 'off'
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
    for:
minutes: 2
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
entity_id: switch.downstairs_bathroom_fan
service: switch.turn_on
- id: '1552118237753'
