I’m in the same boat as @jeremytodd1
For as long as I can remember, only the ON button has been working.

86

Thank you so much for this. First blueprint I have tried that works like expected with RWL021

87

Hey, that was the solution in my case too!
But I also didn’t understand why the variable is no longer pulled correctly.

Thank you!

doest seem to work for me,

I can only get the on button to work.

randomly thought i would try and change the on button to turn off the light and that doesn’t work either. Although i am very new here it could just be my coding lol

Same for me. Something changed and now I can only use the turn on button, everything else is without function.

90

by me the same :frowning:

91

that worked like a charm, thx!

92

I have exactly the same behavior. Only the ON button works.
Does anybody know what’s ther problem with it?

I have the same behavior. any fix would be great.

94

sorry where can I change this. Still a noob to HA…

I am on ZHA Skyconnect only and use a RWL021 probably v1. It is quite old

I spent some time learning how Blueprints work yesterday and came up with this modification of the original. Note this has only been tested with the v1 remote as that’s all I have but it restores functionality to all buttons for me.

blueprint:
  name: ZHA - Philips Hue Dimmer Switch (Fixed)
  description: 'Control lights with a Philips Hue Dimmer Switch.

    The top "on" button will turn the lights on to the last set brightness

    (unless the force brightness is toggled on in the blueprint).

    Dim up/down buttons will change the brightness smoothly and can be pressed

    and hold until the brightness is satisfactory.


    The bottom "off" button will turn the lights off.

I did try setting trigger.event.data.params.step_mode as a step_mode variable in the actions but I couldn’t get it to work :man_shrugging:.

Nice this worked for me. Thanks!

I can only use the off button, the other buttons aren’t working for me. I have the
RWL021

Firmware: 0x42006f9d

fantastic thank you for mentioning this!

This blueprint solved the problem with the blueprint in the thread start where only the “on” button works.

I had trouble figuring out how to get @Twiglet’s blueprint into my Home Assistant. The only way I managed to figure out to get it to work was to import the original blueprint and then replace the contents of blueprints\automation\vanstinator\zha-philips-hue-dimmer-switch-rwl020-rwl021 with @Twiglet’s code. There is probably some better way to do it.
Thanks anyway @Twiglet!
