Here is what I came up with to somewhat mimic the Hue Dimmer switch. I have my Hue bulbs all programmed so at different times of day the color temperature is changed, so pressing button 1 first just turns the light on. If I don't want the color temperature that is set, then I can rotate through 5 color temperatures by pressing button 1 repeatedly.
I implemented dim/brighten with single presses in increments of 20...would love to see somebody do the dim/brighten with held/released!
Any ideas for button 3? I was thinking maybe to toggle all lights on/off. Nothing implemented yet.
This is a parent/child app, so install both pieces of app code, then install the parent app and set the children from there. There will be one child per pico remote.
Please feel free to take and modify as you wish!

. So moving all that functionality out of the Hue hub would be great.
I've finally started using my Picos for more lights, and if I'm only controlling one bulb, doing it in Button Controller isn't too bad, but I'm running into complexities in multi-bulb rooms/setups (e.g., I only want to dim/brighten bulbs that are already on, not all the ones I've selected regardless). It's also cumbersome to set up the same devices on a lot of buttons where I really want to control the same devices with each button, just with different actions.
