Home Assistant blueprint: Hue Dimmer Switch on a Hue bridge, with hold actions that fire while the button is held rather than on release. Fork of codycodes' Dec 2021 blueprint.

hue-dimmer-remote-hold.yaml

blueprint:
  name: Hue Dimmer Remote (hold on long press)
  description: >-
    For a Philips Hue dimmer switch paired to a Hue bridge and surfaced in Home
    Assistant through the Hue integration, using `hue` domain device triggers.

    Short press slots fire on `short_release`, when you let go of a quick tap.

    Hold slots fire on `long_press`, the moment the bridge recognises the hold,
    while the button is still held down. The stock blueprint used
    `long_release`, which only fires once you let go.

    Button numbering: 1 = On, 2 = Brightness Up, 3 = Brightness Down, 4 = Off.
