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.
Iāve tried your code and itās 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 donāt know why itās 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.
Fairly new to HA and Z2M, but just discovered this blueprint and it is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing!
As a related question - I was initially attempting to set up this switch in Z2M using a bind. Has anyone had success with direct binding of this Hue Dimmer Switch to a light or set of lights using the Z2M GUI (Bind under device settings)?
Despite getting messages that the switch is bound to a light successfully i have had no luck getting a response using that methodā¦ just curious if anyone had similar experience.
