ZHA - Hue Dimmer Fully Configurable.yaml

blueprint:
  name: ZHA - Philips Hue Dimmer Switch Config - V2023.12.15
  description: |
    Control lights with a Philips Hue Dimmer Switch (only RWL020 (US) and RWL021 (EU), RWL022, the one that says 'hue' on the bottom, has a different button layout.)
    
    This blueprint is a simplified version of stefanroelofs's `ZHA - Philis Hue Dimmer Switch V2', but this one has no default inputs and with full configuration available. This makes the remote easily configurable for purposes other than controlling lights.
    
    If you are intending to just use it for use as a light switch, I recommend using his blueprint, which you can find at https://gist.github.com/stefanroelofs/775e2e0a3cdb3d72a9451fb247492d59
    
    It includes customizable 'on' button behaviour and default setup of the dimmer buttons to dim as they normally would. To make the configuration available for other automations, I had to remove these very useful functionalities.
    
    Please note that the Philips Hue Dimmer Switch also supports triple, quadruple, and even quintuple button presses. It's fairly easy to configure these yourself by editing this blueprint.
    
    Please also note that I am not much good at python and therefore probably cannot help you if this does not work. All credit for figuring out how all this works goes to stefanroelofs, vanstinator and warriorrocker. I just adapted their work to make the dimming buttons free to execute other actions. 
    
    Does this blueprint not work for you? Did you add your Hue dimmer to ZHA before July 2020?
    It might help to press the 'Reconfigure device' button on the ZHA Device info page.
    The naming of the command attribute in the zha_event was changed back then.

I have a RWL021 EU version of the dimmer. I am having problems with my HA/ZHA setups with double presses. I can see the double button presses and call for automation in the log but my service calls do not happen. Any Ideas?

Hi Aapo, I'm not sure, as the blueprint has been working for me flawlessly since I set it up. I also use double presses. If they are showing up on the log, it sounds to me like there might be an issue in your automation. Have you looked at the trace to see if it completes correctly?

Hi, yep the automation works correctly. I set the automation to run on a double press with the on and off buttons. It works there...quite strange.

Well, I'm dumb. I just had another look at the blueprint and realised I didn't get the commands right. The down and up double press were still linked to the 'on' button instead of their respective buttons.

If you're on the newest version of HA you can update the blueprint and it should work. I'm really sorry!

Nice, thanks a lot! I will update. Thanks for your contribution!!!

Looking at the changes you made, I should have noticed those commands too =)

Well, it's not your responsibility to troubleshoot my blueprint, and it's such a dumb mistake it's easy to miss, evidently... haha

My Hue Dimmer Switch is firing the short-press event every time. Even if I do a long or double press, the short press action is triggered anyway. That's a bit annoying.
Therefore, I changed the command to the appropriate release event, means:
on_press --> on_short_release
up_press --> up_short_release
down_press --> down_short_release
off_press --> off_short_release

Now, every event can be used independently from each other.
