Hi 
I made a very easy customizable Blueprint for the Philips Hue 4 Button Dimmer Switch.
Requirements:
- Running MQTT Broker & MQTT Integration in Home Assistant
- Running Zigbee2MQTT
- Philips Hue Dimmer Switch
The Blueprint is using MQTT instead of HA Entity Attributes because it is faster.
You can give every button custom commands.
It is also possible to still use the dimmer function.
just giving the ‘hold’ action, the service ‘Light: Turn on’, choose your light entity & set ‘Brightness step’ to 20 and it will make it brighter the longer you hold.
You can also set it to ‘-20’ to dim the lights.
Have fun with it and be creative!
