True. Embarrassingly, I even have family in Perth.

Nothing is going to be fast if it supports hold, because it has to wait to see if the action was a press or a hold.

I would suggest that if you are worried about the time for a hold to be detected, if a simple press not an alternative with your chosen devices? Just have an alternative device for the trigger you want with hold?

@esgu1019 Lutron all the way if it's an option. If not, I have several Aeotec "mote" buttons. They're zwave but reliable and convenient. Reaction time is pretty swift with a solid zwave mesh.
Thank you for answer. What I want is a short press of 1 button to toggle the light, press and hold to dim the light and release the button to stop dimming.
Thanks for the reply. In SmartThings, the IKEA dimmer supports short press and long press, but the short press speed was very fast. don't know why
Thank you for the reply. Is the Lutron Pico triggering a push speed similar to the smartthings button? I use fibaro and tuya button devices, and the push trigger speed is a bit disappointing.
What about the hue button? Not the switch. I cant remember of it supports hold but it’s pretty fast.
If hold is the issue could you modify a driver to remove hold as an option?
Thank you for the reply. The hue button is already happy and in use. Official drivers that support 2, 3 button hold will delay the push trigger by about 1 second. So I am using it as a user driver without the hold function. The dimming light control is a bit disappointing. I need a hold
I saw an old post. what i was looking for! Currently the hue dimmer button seems to be set to around 1000ms. Can the user change this to 300-500ms? Is it possible only with Lutron?
Then you don't need hold. You use push and release. Button push "start raising/lowering" and button release "stop raising/lowering." I tried this with a Pico (fast Pico) and a Hue bulb. While it did work, even the slight delay introduced by HE made it feel strange. So I just went to a "button push, adjust dimmer +20/-20" and it feels better to me.
Note that you might need a conditional for the dim up button because "level 0" and "off" are the same thing, and neither actually sets the level to 0. So if you had the light at 50%, turned it off, then did an action to adjust dimmer +20, it'll turn on and go to 70.
Thanks for all replies. I found ikea on/off button works on hubitat! I moved to hubitat after deleting the ikea button from zigbee2mqtt. I don't know about the battery problem yet. It has a hold release function and the push trigger is very fast too!
(I hope it is officially supported.)
Have you been able to get it to work when paired directly with the HE Hub? Or have you not tried yet? I have mine working by connecting them to a Conbee2 stick on a rpi, integrated with HE via DeCONZ and a Community driver. Would be interested if you can pair them directly.
Yes. directly connected to hubitat.
The latest firmware is not ZLL. I upgraded the firmware and paired it myself. I am using the driver made by birdslikewires with a little modification with 2 buttons.
Interesting, I'll have to see if I can update the firmware via the conbee2 stick
Is it the shortcut button you have, or the on/off buttons that come with IKEA blinds? I have the on/off ones....
I have an on/off button(E1743). I modified the shortcut button driver and used it.

Hmm... tempting.... maybe I'll wait for a while and try it out. Good to know.
I'd suggest setting up a thread dedicated to this, not necessarily something for you to do, just a general suggestion to get the word out, if it works consistently....
Sad news.. this is a battery killer when paired from hubitat, just like ikea shortcut button.
I don't know if this is a driver problem. I don't have the ability to know that.
