Just found this, and its exactly what I am looking for - however I noticed that I am unable to add groups of lights to the actions for the buttons? I have a number of light groups which I can control as a single entity via Home Assistant, but they aren’t available on this BluePrint - is that a limitation?
I’ve tried to add double/multi tap as well but it seems like zigbee2mqtt doesn’t publish these states so I can’t add them. However this is my very first attempt at creating a blueprint so if anyone else knows how to add double click please feel free to add it.
Hi
The new Hue Dimmer (the RWL022) seems to use an underscore and not a hyphen.
So I duplicated the conditions section of the blueprint to include
command == ''on_press''
hopefully someone can help - today i changed my Zigbee channel from 11 to 25 to try and avoid some interference with wifi. I’ve gone through the process of repairing all my devices and setting everything back up - all seems to have gone really smoothly apart from this blueprint for my hue dimmer switches.
I cannot for the life of me get this blueprint to work - the automation never gets triggered. however if i setup a separate automation to look at a single “on-press” action it works perfectly and activates my scene.
Can anyone help? before i setup about 20 individual automations for my 3 dimmers with various actions
I also had to do this change, on-press => on_press
Also had to comment out the trigger attribute row: #attribute: action
But now it works really nice, thank you!
Hello
Not getting this to work. I’ve done the trigger change and attribute change but no joy.
Anything else I need to change?
I’ve confirmed the dimmer is working with other automations.
Any help appreciated.

I also have issues, the main issue is, I cant find whats the issue…
I doe have some devices working nicely on Zigbee. The remotes of IKEA are working with mij Bleuprint. My Philips Hue Dimmer Switches (RWL021) are not. In the loggings I do see that they are sending the right messages, but somehow the Blueprint does not recognise it. I tried fiddling with the Legacy option, without any result. I keep it at false now. Is there something else I can try to fix this? I really would prefer to keep my Hue remotes in use.
Over the last couple of weeks I have tried a lot of different blueprints including this one. I finally got another one to work after some modifications.
Hi. Im a newbee to this world. What command should i use for turn the lights on and off and to dim the lights up and down? is it just turn lights on in action field or what to do?
