how to Q: hue switch dimmer config with Z2M

Post by jpveen »

I have some Hue switches an Hue bulbs and connect them directly to Domoticz using Zigbee2MQTT, so without a Hue bridge. Motion sensors and simple on/off can be achieved with a simple blockly script.
The Hue dimmer switch itself has an action (button press), but also a brightness level which is ajusted using + and - on the switch. The brightness comes as a virtual dimmer switch available in Domoticz.

However what is the simplest way to 'copy' the brightness level from virtual-switch-A to let's say bulb-B ?

I tried with master/slave devices, but that does not work. Is there a simple way in blockly to achieve that a bulb (or dimmer) 'follows' a brightness level of another dimmer?

thanks, Jan-Pieter

You can put both in a ZigBee group (see zigbee2mqtt user interface). Then in Domoticz a new device will be created by the plugin to control both devices together.
Domoticz running on Udoo X86 (on Ubuntu)
Devices/plugins: ZigbeeforDomoticz (with Xiaomi, Ikea, Tuya devices), Nefit Easy, Midea Airco, Omnik Solar, Goodwe Solar
