Do you use the supported switch via z2m integration? It looks like events are not delivered correctly for some reason.
I’m new to HA and zmqtt and stuff. I understand how to create basic automation and use with blueprint, but here I’m a bit lost. It doesn’t work bc I didn’t do the text helper stuff, can someone help me with that ? I absolutely don’t know what it is, and how to use it.
Thanks in advance, and thanks a lot for the blueprint.
I just found the helpers in HA, I read too fast, my bad, but I’m still not sure what to put into it (since imgur image no longer exists).
The link was broken, I edited that comment and added the image.

Hi, thanks a lot, it seems to work now. I have a question though, is it possible to have toggle for scene with Hue Button like in the original one ?
I want to be able to just click Hue Button and it switch to next scene. And if I have for instance 4 scenes, when I’m at the fourth scene, when tapping the Hue Button it will switch to first scene.
I’m not sure how to do this, or if it’s possible.
Thanks for your time.

Dear Serge
I do have a problem with setting up your blueprint.
I followed your description but in the trace screen of the automation I get only this error message.
Error: UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'event'
And the step config says:
variables:
helper_last_controller_event: input_text.philips_hue_dial_switch_last_pressed
command: '{{ trigger.event.data.new_state.state }}'
prev_command: '{{ states(helper_last_controller_event) }}'
As possible “sensors” I can only choose from thoese:
sensor.philips_hue_dimmer_switch_zigbee2matt_battery
sensor.philips_hue_dimmer_switch_linkquality
sensor.philips_hue_dial_switch_zigbee2mqtt_action_time
My config looks like this:
mode: restart
max_exceeded: silent
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: state_changed
event_data:
entity_id: sensor.philips_hue_dial_switch_zigbee2mqtt_action_time

Thank you for your feedback.
Kind regards

That is weird that your devices do not expose the _action entity.
All my dimmers have those, for example:
sensor.bedroom_hue_dimmer_action
@thotha - Looks like your dimmer switch is not exactly the “Philips Hue Dimmer Switch v2” as indicated in the subject of this thread. Your’s dimmer got a dial, so that’s a different model.
Ok, so where should I search fir a solution?
In/for Zigbee2MQTT, MQTT, Mosqitto Brocker, Home Assistant Core, Hassio, Sonoff Stick?
After search the internet with this search one of the first results is this one and close to the bottom I did find the solution to this problem.
I do not know with which update within the last few days this happened but suddenly the mentioned setting legacy triggers was disabled.
Maybe you could mention somewhere that if a user as problems with your blueprint, he should check that setting within Zigbee2MQTT.
Sorry for this trouble.

Bit confused, does this reprogram the buttons just like Switch Manager, and can it also support RWL021?
It’s a blueprint so that you can create an automation and specify different actions for different buttons and press types.
It may work with RWL021 as the action names look compatible, but I didn’t test it.
This blueprint is perfect for my needs! 
Recently, I added a new automation to the blueprint and selected my light group. However, I have noticed a slight delay of around 1 second when I toggle the light and it turns on. But when I toggle it again and the light turns off, there is no delay. I wonder if anyone knows how I can change the delay only when the light turns off, so it matches the same delay as when the light goes on.
Thank you.
Thanks for this blueprint - works perfectly within areas or specific lights.
But I don’t understand why the dimming is not supported.
I tried to use “UP Button hold” to let the lights go up in 10% steps.
Tried to change the brightness_pct which didn’t work.
But changing it via yaml editor did not work:
service: light.toggle
metadata: {}
data:
brightness_step_pct: 10
transition: 1
target:
area_id: kuche
Why is that not supported and how can I achieve this?
THX!
You probably need to use light.turn_on service instead of the toggle.
I’m trying to hunt down a hue dimmer switch v1 blueprint, if anyone has one?
Thanks @JetSerge, this is great! I’m new to HA and this is just what I was looking for. I have a few binary sensors for the times of day (e.g. morning, afternoon, evening, night) so I can change automations based on the time of day. I’m trying to figure out a way to add a control to the press release button where if the ‘night’ sensor is on, then it will trigger a dimmed light, but I can’t work out a way to do this as the blueprint throws up an error if I try if-then-else in the yaml. May I ask if you are able to provide any guidance? Thanks again!
You should be able to if-then-else via the UI editor in the automation, no need to use YAML. Sorry, it doesn’t seem to be specific to my automation, maybe post your code in another thread and ask the community for help?
