You need to use the name you entered (or was entered for you) for the device in Z2M not what you have in HA.

I just started messing with this. I suck at yaml but my code does have smooth dimming. I think if you mess with the % and transition it could be pretty customizable. Let me know if this works well.

alias: Livingroom dim
description: Dims livingroom when held
use_blueprint:
  path: patpac9/Hue_Dimmer_Switch_Easy_Custom_Buttons.yaml
  input:
    controller: Hallway hue switch
    down_held:
      - service: light.turn_on
        metadata: {}
        data:
          brightness_step_pct: -20
          transition: 2
        target:
          entity_id: light.livingroom
    up_held:
      - service: light.turn_on
        metadata: {}
        data:
          brightness_step_pct: 20
          transition: 2
        target:
          entity_id: light.livingroom

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

I’ve tried your code and it’s better, but still not totally smooth. I could start playing with transition and brightness step but I would prefer to use mqtt.publish command, I read somewhere that it should be better than the other solution (brightness_step/brightness_step_pct). Any experience how to get that (mqtt.publish) to operate smoother?
Like I also mentioned in my first comment i use this code for my enOcean PTM 215Z and it operate like a charm, so I don’t know why it’s a problem when using Hue dimmer switch.

I have the same problem i cant not get the blueprint to work. I have tried both the friendly name and the mqqt id that was given at the time. I still dont get a response. if i set up my own automation i can get it to work.
