What channel is your zigbee on?
I'm still playing with only one connected to HE its not reliable for me so far.
Mine seem to work on first press then I get red led if I press any more then sometimes it comes back or I have to press all four buttons for a reset
Since I have had few issues with them, outside of Hub updates and the associated reboots, I will comment. The hub that I have them on is using zigbee channel 19. I have another C-5 hub on 24 and a Hue bridge on 20. I previously had a SmartThings hub on 20 and Hue on 15. Hue did not like 15. It was originally on 25, and worked very well, and thinking about it now I will probably put it back on 25 and move my HE from 19 to 20 to be further away from wifi channels that I use. The Hue dimmers will be the only devices that will have to be rejoined when I change channels (I have done this several times and this is always the case).
Mine is on channel 20 (standard) with no issues.
I have two separate WiFi access points, a second access point from one of the two and two WiFi repeaters. No WiFi smarthome devices, just Zigbee (most) and Z-Wave (few). I don’t seem to suffer from radio traffic, and my devices are scattered to a very large extent.
Info hoping it helps.
Hi everyone,
apologies I didn't notice this had been updated so much since my lasts posts.
for some reason the batteries drained quickly and I kept having problems with the remotes dropping off so I eventually moved them back to hue and they have been rock solid.
to get round the issue of using them for other functions I just installed some RF ID tags in the housing for the dimmer which is attached too the wall, there is 3 tags in each light switch so that gives me 3 extra functions that can be triggered by my phone which is fine as I was using them for wake up and bed time routines as well as the lights so it is a bit of a work around to my original use case.
I also have 3 Zigbee hubs,
Smartthings on channel 25
Hubitat on Channel 20
Hue on Channel 15.
I have 2 wireless access points at each end of the house using channel 1.
I also had some issues with Xiaomi door\contact sensors which were dropping off every so often, I found on another thread on here it was due to them not being zigbee compliant and there is certain zigbee repeaters they dont work with, so I moved the smarthings plugs back to smartthings and bought a few ikea tradi wireless outlets and now the Xiaomi sensors are rock solid on hubitat.
This was after I moved the dimmers\remotes back to hue so I am wondering if they might work on hubitat now as I had problems with the hue dimmers dropping off from both smartthings and hubitat so it seems certainly related to the remotes and the signal getting back to the hub via the repeaters.
I am wondering if the remotes are not as compliant as they should be and dropping off due to this similar to the Xiaomi sensors, if I get time over the weekend I will maybe pair one back up to hubitat to see how it goes as al of mines were far from the hub and had to issues dropping off.
Might be worth listing what zigbee repeaters are being used too as that can be a factor, See link could be a similar issue I just don't have the technical know how to understand if it is the case or not.

I have Hue dimmers on Hubitat. They are definitely a bit touchy about repeaters they’ll work with. I know they work well with the 2018 SmartThings outlets, and seem okay with the Sylvania outlets as well. I haven’t had one drop in quite a while with those being my primary repeaters. I have a separate Hubitat hub for Zigbee lights on channel 19, and all of my battery powered zigbee devices are on their own hub on channel 24. My Hue hub is on 20 because it did not like 11 or 15. There are no nearby strong wifi signals on wifi channels 6 or 11, so I am using 19 and 24 so Hue can have 20 and 25 when I power up the second Hue bridge. Where appropriate, I have Hue dimmers on the Hue bridge.
