Should this work as a dimmer with a long press? I cannot get it working. It dims only one step and thats it. For the same button is also registered toggle light command. Enabling loop doesn’t make it any better.

Grab the Light Hook automation, it’s designed alongside the Controller automation and provide dimming and such.
Hope that helps

# Blueprint metadata
blueprint:
  name: Hook - Light
  description: |
    # Hook - Light

    Hook automation which allows to control a light. Supports brightness and color control both for white temperature and rgb lights. Features may vary depending on the selected Controller.

    An automation created with this blueprint must be linked to a [Controller](https://epmatt.github.io/awesome-ha-blueprints/blueprints/controllers) automation.
    Controllers are blueprints which allow to easily integrate a wide range of controllers (wall switches, remotes, dimmers, etc.) and use them to run a set of actions when interacting with them.
    They expose an abstract interface used by Hooks to create controller-based automations.

    A list of controllers supported by this hook is available [here](https://epmatt.github.io/awesome-ha-blueprints/docs/blueprints/hooks/light#supported-controllers).

Hey, thank you for the hook. The only problem is that if I long press up or down for about 1 second and then let go the light continues to increase/decrease brightness until it is fully on/off.
What am I doing wrong?

And what is the technical explanation for the automation not supporting continuous dimming? If I add an action to “Down button long press” to step brightness by -10% and enable “(Optional) Down button long press - loop until release” in the automation this should work, shouldn’t it?

You can do dimming in the Remote blueprint - I have done it before by adding a small delay after the dim action but the Hook is preferred.

Make sure your Remote blueprint does not have actions that conflict with the Light Hook. And make sure you are using the latest lsismeiro version as well as this is a bug that was fixed previously.

Welcome and hope that helps.
