Trying to create an automation to dim lights via conbee2

Hi all,

i’m trying to get a light to dim when I press an ikea wireless dimmer switch but I’ve no idea how to do it.

currently I’m using the automation from the instructions

- id: '0000000000030'
  alias: Decrease brightness of Robins bedside light with dimmer
  initial_state: 'true'
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: deconz_event
    event_data:
      id: robins_dimmer
      event: 3002
  action:
    - service: light.turn_on
      data_template:
        entity_id: light.bedside_1
        brightness: >
          {% set bri = state_attr('light.bedside_1', 'brightness') | int %}
          {{ [bri-30, 0] | max }}

the problem with this is that I have to keep pressing the button or turning the dial, stop, turn the dial… what I’d like to do is have the light increase/decrease in brightness until I release the button, or stop turning the dial.

is this possible? and could someone help me to understand how?

thank you all for your time and help

kind regards

Robin
