Advanced Button Controller mystery

C-8 Pro

I installed the Advanced Button Controller. I have a Tuya / Moes 4-button scene controller.

I am able to use a button where press turns on a plug, two shuts it off. All is well with that.

The Problem: I have two lamps with Minoston plug-in dimmers. What I want to do is press and hold one button and have the lamps progressively get brighter, hold another to have them progressively get dimmer. I tried the Ramp Up / Down (Auto stop on Release) selection. It did not work as expected.

What happened: Rather than slowly fading up or down until released, (Like one can do with a Pico), pressing and holding did nothing, but if held for a few seconds, the fade down faded all the way to off. Pressing the Ramp Up button did nothing; the lamps stayed off.

What am I doing wrong? Any and all assistance is welcome. Thanks, gang!

You’re probably not doing anything wrong. However, if your device does not support the continuous dimming up/down feature, there is nothing that ABC can do to help.

check to see if your dimmers have these two commands on their Device Details page.
