how do you dim the lights? i assume you’re having a kaku dimmer device, right?
well what about this :
create two switch devices for the kaku switch with switch 4 protocol.
now create some rules :
IF switch1 is switched on THEN switch dimmer on
IF switch1 is switched off THEN switch dimmer off
IF switch2 is switched on THEN set $dimstate = $dimstate + 10 and dim dimmer to $dimstate
IF switch2 is switched off THEN set $dimstate = $dimstate - 10 and dim dimmer to $dimstate
hope this will do the trick …at least you’ll have a starting point to evaluate your rules.
