Thanks for the blueprint! It’s working great for me.

One thing I will say. Echoing the comment above, if your lights support move via Zigbee2Mqtt it is a much better and smoother way of making the lights dim or brighten via the hold action.

For anyone looking to implement this. First, check if your lights support MOVE in the device information on Zigbee2Mqtt.

If they do, you can use the MQTT Publish service to send a move payload to the light(s). The payload can have a positive or negative value and can also be set to turn the light on if off or vice versa. You must also send a second payload on the release action. Some examples:

"brightness_move": 40, // Starts moving brightness up at 40 units per second
"brightness_move": -40, // Starts moving brightness down at 40 units per second
"brightness_move_onoff": 50  // turns light on if off and Increases brightness by 40
"brightness_move_onoff": -50  // Increases brightness by -50 and turns light off if on
"brightness_move": "stop", // Stop moving brightness

You must also find the Z2M topic, which is in the format:

zigbee2mqtt/FRIENDLY_NAME/set

This can either be an individual light or a Z2M light group.

An example from my own automation:
