Nope I did not, the fourth button was to disable the selected light. I changed the blueprint to work with Zigbee2MQTT however some update (either Z2M or HomeAssistant) changed how the Hue Tap Dail was working. So the above became useless and I didn’t got any time to sort out what happened.
I switched over to switch manager (HACS plugin). It works, it has a nice GUI to setup things, me happy. It works for me so far, so check that one out :).
Let us know if it works as hoped
If not mistaken I see that you are chosing the light which is being dimmed by a short press. Same as turing on/off the light. Will that not have an effect if the lights (for example 1&2) are already on and you want to dimm the first one that it is being switched off when selecting it?
Just the blueprint I was looking for! Nice work, @apollo1220!
The only thing I run into is the helper. Fairly new to this HA game and still reading into all the things you can do with HA. It’ll take me some years to figure it all out
What helper do I need to make and what should it contain?
So did anyone get the text helper working in ZHA? Mine does not change when pressing a button. If i manually change the value i can use the dial to dim the “selected” light.
Settings → Devices/Services → Helpers (upper right hand corner) → Create Helper → Text → name it whatever you’d like, and then import your newly created text helper into the automation, which is at the bottom of the blueprint labeled: (OPTIONAL) Current Light.
I named mine “Master Bedroom Last Selected Light Helper.”
Thanks for this great blueprint. My tap dial is connected to 2 plugs and 1 light bulb, and the fourth button toggles all 3 devices.
Since the only dimmable device is the bulb, how can I set the dial to only work with the dimmable device (rather than the ‘current’ device)? I’m completely new to Home Assistant, so would greatly appreciate any guidance. Thank you!
@victorhooi, @_Xander, @timothi, @helge137, @AnderssonPeter: What solution have you settled on for using the Tap Dial with Z2M? Have you all moved to HACS Switch Manager or does someone have a blueprint that’s currently working fine? I’m trying to figure out if I shall buy the Tap Dial or some other remote for controlling a Hue light (brightness, on/off, color, scenes) in a kids room (without having a Hue Bridge). Thanks!
Full disclosure - I hacked the blueprint a bit to support double click events instead of release since I had no use for release. It’s working solidly for whatever I’ve thrown at it so far, with one minor exception. Sending multiple rotate events in a row seems to be swamping out zigbee messages, leading to a little latency.
Other than that, both the tap dial device as well as the blueprint have been rock solid.
