I can’t get the buttons to work. Pressing them raises an event in the trace of the automation, but ‘no action is taken’, and the input_text helper remains unchanged. How can I debug this?
The trace is the best way to debug. If you can’t figure it out you can export the trace and post here and I can take a look at it.
Thanks!
I’m trying to use the blueprint to dim and switch on and off lights. I’ve selected two lights (earlier I tried four, but that didn’t work, so I started over). I’m expecting the buttons to select the light, and the dial to dim them. Dimming only works on the first light, and the input_text helper remains unknown (I suppose that’s the default value).
I’ve installed it yesterday using your repository, so it should be using the latest version.
Edit: full trace below.
When looking at the trace, at the top right is a menu where you can download the full trace
I see.

I believe to have exactly the same problem, I also get the message ‘no action taken’.
From what I can see from the trace all variables should be properly set but nevertheless the choose condition is not met.
Below trace is when pressing button 1, but same result is seen for buttons 2-4.
I also see that the helper variable is not being modified, so as expected turning the dial is also not working.

Thanks Ray.
@apollo1220, if you have the opportunity to take a look, that would be much appreciated.

Did you manage to get this working? I switched from ZHA to Z2M but this one is really bugging me.
I already start looking at the blueprint code, but I am not yet on that level to make such blueprints unfortunately.
Nope. I hope Ray is able to take a look.
Ok, dug a bit deeper today.
Proved to be super duper simple to fix. The incoming parameter that defines which button is pressed is called scene_id while in the blueprint it is presumed to be called scene.
Not sure what is the root cause, maybe HA renamed this parameter?
Anyway, I have submitted a PR to the blueprint with this fix.

It was scene when I wrote the blueprint and scene does still work for me. Possibly a firmware update from Philips changed it (I haven’t ever updated the firmware on my dial).
Please help, doesn’t work anymore after new HA installation.
I moved to a new house and so installed a fresh new HA installation. I managed to reset and include the Hue tap dial again (took some time). And it is available in HA. I can press identify and the orange led starts blinking.
So I added this blueprint, choose the tap dial as device and configured a device to control. But nothing happens, I tried a device, an entity, but nothing.
Why o why?
UPDATE: I did a reconfigure, got some errors, but now the tap is working… weird.
For those interested in a Zigbee2MQTT version. I have made one, but I tweaked it to my specific preference I had when I was using this one in ZHA.
I only use three buttons and it controls 3 different lights. I have configured the 4th button just to turn off the last selected light. Yes, with Z2M we can use double press or long press but I am a simple person and I am happy with this :).
Also, Z2M doesn’t know the concept of ‘step_size’, but does now the actions step, slow and fast. I have covered this as separate conditions and applied a dimscale * 2 (slow) and * 5 (fast).

Hi everyone. Nice work apolllo1220, thanks.
I am new to HA and want to get rid of my hue bridge step by step. Is there a solution for the long press button id solution, at least at the horizon? Maybe via quirk. I am a lttle bit overwhelmed by all.
Obviously the data is there but simply not used by zha. Is’t there away to make it usable?
[0xF417:1:0xfc00] Unknown cluster command 0 b'\x01\x00\x000\x00!\x00\x00' -> press
[0xF417:1:0xfc00] Unknown cluster command 0 b'\x01\x00\x000\x02!\x02\x00' -> press_release
[0xF417:1:0xfc00] Unknown cluster command 0 b'\x01\x00\x000\x01!\x10\x00' -> hold
[0xF417:1:0xfc00] Unknown cluster command 0 b'\x01\x00\x000\x03!\x19\x00' -> hold_release
The pattern is \button***\command\miliseconds_hex*
It’s there, but I can’t get my hands on it. 
No way that I know of without ZHA supporting it

thanks for this.
For me the following part is not working
- If the light is off, a click will turn it on at 50%.
I found that brightness should be between 0 and 255, but the light does not turn on, when its off, no matter which value is set for brightness.
seems like this part never gets triggered.
the light only turns on if I turn the dial.
Am I missing something?
- choose:
- conditions: '{{ states(first_light.entity_id) == ''off'' }}'
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
target: '{{ first_light }}'
data:
transition: 1
brightness: 50
I appear to be having the same problem with the helper not being set, but neither the current yaml nor the historic one are working. If I go into the helper object and manually change the text, I can get the dial to work. But the button presses aren’t changing it. I can’t figure out how to read the trace. Any help would be appreciated.

You didn’t by any chance did create an automation with all 4 buttons used for lights? Besides this your automation is exactly what I’m looking for as I can’t use this one since I’m running Z2M
Thanks!
