Philips Hue help needed with Hue dimmer switch/remote

Philips Hue has an excellent forum, but you have to sign up for a free developers account to get to it.

Or you could visit any of the many independent Hue forums, including Reddit’s Hue sub-forum at https://www.reddit.com/r/Hue/ , https://philipshue.com, or www.huetips.com.

Since this forum is for those using the Samsung SmartThings home automation system, readers should be able to assume that the questions and answers are in the context of that system.

In which case, the answer is easy: don’t use the Hue remote. :wink: instead, Get any button device that works with SmartThings, and you will easily be able to set up the kind of rules and scenes you describe using the official SmartLighting feature.
