ZHA - Hue Dimmer Switch - RWL022 - Blueprint

Hello! My first blueprint, so one to share with you.

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Features:
Using ZHA, use this blueprint to listen for events from a Hue Dimmer RWL022 switch. Bind two light entities to the switch, one for the power button and one for the hue button. For example, have your main light bound to the power button and your lamps bound to the hue button. Then you can turn both lights on an off independently and use the middle dimmer buttons to dim the lights, depending on which lights are on at the time. With both lights turned off, press the dimmer up button once to set both lights to a low brightness. Good for walking around at night.

Requires;

  • Hue Dimmer Switch, RWL022 (UK Version 2 Switch)
  • Two objects in Home Assistant under the domain ‘light’.
  • Integration for the Dimmer Switch using ZHA. It cannot be imported using another method.

Awesome blueprint. Any likelihood of you adding a double press or long press actions to it? I want to use a long press to toggle color temperature (warm vs cool) of my main lights.

:wave:Hi.

Glad you like it, it’s just a blueprint I was playing around with Home Assistant while waiting for my new home purchase to go through. So I haven’t actually implemented it for the reason I created it (yet) and will be doing soon.

I’ll see what I can do once I get back to getting Home Assistant installed and setup in my new house, since I’ve just got in this last week.

Thanks.

This integration is great for quick and easy controlling of a light. I had been using it to control the light in my nursery for a few months.

More recently I needed a blueprint with more configuration options so I created a new version earlier this week which is a little more complicated than this blueprint but gives you more explicit control over 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, release, long hold, and long release for each button. Just wanted to share it here for others who may be interested.

I’ve forked your Blueprint and made the steps configurable. Also I modified to to use light.toggle to it preserves previous state and brightness level.

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.
