I have a need for a knob. I've never had or needed one before, I relied on a tile slider but that isn't as useful in a multi-person environment I now find myself in.
I want to control level and CT for a group - Ideally a 'push' on the knob sets it to ... lets call it 'knob 1' and another push puts it into 'knob 2' - then dial up or down. Possible? 2 Knobs required?
Or you can check Tapo Dimmer (it is Matter device but works well with HE):
It will be an extra hardware (plug in dimmer) but it has a wireless knob which does exactly what you want. You can use a custom "Switch Bind" application to map all your lights together.
thank you for the idea. My world is pure zigbee, Really wanted just a knob without spending money to experiment! I've bit the bullet and bought this:
since it's tuya the dev docs are easy to find and i'll try and write a driver for it. wish me luck.
If that doesn't work out, I've had one of these for years. It's a little pricey, though. I do not use the rotary function. I picked it because is fits over an existing light switch which is exactly what I needed. It has a baked in driver but I have recently moved it to my Hue bridge.
Yes it did. I had it paired directly for a couple of years. I want to say first with a C4 but definitely a C7 and then on to a C8. I moved it over to the hue bridge as it started to act up with all of my zigbee radio reboot issues. Were you having issues pairing it or after the fact? There is a baked in driver specifically for it. I can move it back and test it when I get home.
It paired but I didn't get any debug messages when I pressed the button or turned the knob. I went through all kinds of troubleshooting. It's been probably a year, and plenty of software updates have happened so I should try again. Thanks for the offer - I'll let you know!
