Notes

Battery Type

Uses a CR2032 battery.

Pairing

Factory reset the Hue dimmer switch by removing the battery cover and pressing and holding the setup button for 10 seconds. The LED on the front will blink red and the device is ready to pair.

Restart the Hue dimmer switch by holding all 4 buttons of the Hue dimmer switch. You can let go when the light on the front flashes red/green briefly.

Using the dimmer to reset a Hue light bulb

To use the Hue dimmer switch to factory reset a Hue light bulb see HOWTO: Factory reset a Hue bulbopen in new window. After resetting the bulb will automatically connect. This method also works for Philips Hue Lightstrips. Hue dimmer switch can also be used to factory reset Ikea Trådfri light bulbs using the same method described above.

Binding

By default, the device is bound to the coordinator, but it can also be used to directly control other lights and switches in the network (see guide on bindingopen in new window).

As the device is sleeping by default, you will need to wake it up after sending the bind/unbind command by pressing any button.

When endpoint 1 is bound to a light or a group of lights, the behavior is as follows:

ButtonClickActionComment
PowerSingle
Double
Toggle stateThe device keeps track of each press, alternating between on and off actions.
The on action is using the commandOn command.
The off action is using the commandOffWithEffect command with {"effectid":0,"effectvariant":0} payload.
Brightness upSingleStep up the brightnessIn steps of 30 points (around 12%), using the commandStep command with {"stepmode":0,"stepsize":30,"transtime":9} payload.
Brightness upLongSmoothly increase the brightnessIn steps of 63 points (around 25%), using the commandStep command with {"stepmode":0,"stepsize":63,"transtime":9} payload.
Sends the commandStop command, on button release.
Brightness downSingleStep down the brightnessIn steps of 30 points (around 12%), using the commandStep command with {"stepmode":1,"stepsize":30,"transtime":9} payload.
Brightness downLongSmoothly decrease the brightnessIn steps of 63 points (around 25%), using the commandStep command with {"stepmode":1,"stepsize":63,"transtime":9} payload.
Sends the commandStop command, on button release.
HueSingleSwitch between scenesThe device keeps track of each press, alternating between two scenes ("sceneid":1 and "sceneid":2) in a predetermined group with "groupid":43632, using the commandRecall command.

Troubleshooting

Resetting the device

  • Method 1: Press all four buttons for 4 seconds. When the light turns green, release the buttons. The device will flash green and red alternatively after which it will reconnect to the network.
  • Method 2: Use a needle or paperclip to press the reset button on the back for 10 seconds. The behavior is similar to method 1

Device refuses actions

If actions (e.g. applying zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/device/remove to a dimmer) result in timeouts, perform a reset (see above) and apply the action right after the device announced itself in the network.

Device announces itself but the buttons don't work

The dimmer appears to be working normally and the logs in Zigbee2MQTT look good. However, nothing happens when a button is pressed (no light, no log message in Zigbee2MQTT). In this case:

  • Reset the device
  • Use zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/device/remove to remove the device from the network (this should result in a "left the network" log message)
  • Allow joining of new devices in Zigbee2MQTT
  • Reset the device again
  • Wait for it to pair again. The device should now be operational.

OTA updates

This device supports OTA updates, for more information see OTA updates.

Options

How to use device type specific configuration

  • simulated_brightness: Simulate a brightness value. If this device provides a brightness_move_up or brightness_move_down action it is possible to specify the update interval and delta. The action_brightness_delta indicates the delta for each interval. Example:
simulated_brightness:
  delta: 20 # delta per interval, default = 20
  interval: 200 # interval in milliseconds, default = 200

Battery (numeric)

Remaining battery in %, can take up to 24 hours before reported. Value can be found in the published state on the battery property. It's not possible to read (/get) or write (/set) this value. The minimal value is 0 and the maximum value is 100. The unit of this value is %.

Action (enum)

Triggered action (e.g. a button click). Value can be found in the published state on the action property. It's not possible to read (/get) or write (/set) this value. The possible values are: on_press, on_hold, on_press_release, on_hold_release, off_press, off_hold, off_press_release, off_hold_release, up_press, up_hold, up_press_release, up_hold_release, down_press, down_hold, down_press_release, down_hold_release, recall_0, recall_1.

Linkquality (numeric)

Link quality (signal strength). Value can be found in the published state on the linkquality property. It's not possible to read (/get) or write (/set) this value. The minimal value is 0 and the maximum value is 255. The unit of this value is lqi.
