Hi all,

First and foremost - thanks for a great community - this is my first post here, so bear with me :slight_smile:

I’m having a hard time figuring out how to properly do smooth dimming on my Shelly Cloud Dimmers.

With the addition of the brightness control action in version 0.105, I can control the brightness in incremental steps - but I would like to do it in a smooth way, by using the long press events from Deconz for the TRADFRI remotes.

My setup is using TRADFRI E1810 through Deconz as the switch / dimming controller.
The Shelly Dimmers are connected through the standard MQTT broker using the Shellies Discovery Script.

Using this approach there’s no problems - I can create automations for switching the light ON (4002 click), OFF (5002 click), DIM UP (4001 hold start) and DIM DOWN (5001 hold start).

However, this approach has a very low WIF (Wife Acceptance Factor) - and I would like to improve on this :wink:

This led me to try the ControllerX solution - but after hours of frustration with no progress I’ve pretty much given up by now…

Am I expecting too much of HA at the moment, or am I missing something here?

Suggestions are more than welcome :slight_smile:

PS: I’ve only been using HA (hassio) for a month now, so go easy on me :smiley:
