Hue Remote (Dimmer Switch) Triggering Routines

[Fazza92]

Hi all,

I have about 3 Hue Switches (dimmer switches) around my house. Now I know that you can create Routines using these switches on Alexa (i.e. if the first button is pressed that'll be a trigger, or if the brightness up is pressed that'll be a trigger). I can't seem to figure out how to do the same using Google. Even using the script editor I'm not finding them as accessories on the Google Home app. Despite having my Hue account linked to my Google Home. Has anyone figured something like this out? Are switches even possible to become as triggers on Google Home in its current landscape? Any help appreciated!

I have the same issue. Support for Hue dimmer switches (and others) would be appreciated very much.

Is this still not possible, even with the script editor?

I ran into something similar when I bought some Govee floor lamps on sale and added them to a room with only Hue lights. As You would expect the Hue Dimmer Sitch failed to control the new lights. As I had other ambient lights in the room, specifically Hue Bloom lights, I set a Google automation that is triggered when the Bloom light is turned on or off. If the Bloom light comes on, Google turns on both Govee floor lamps. Reverse for off. As I have several scenes set for time of day, I programmed this 3 times with time restraints to have the correct scene apply. But the Hue switch now controls all lights from both brands. In this case you can set the fan to run with the light that comes on and off. Or get a temp sensor and have the fan go on and off depending on how warm the room is.  So no, you can't trigger an automation directly.  But you can indirectly.
