This is my piston for using a 4-button keypad in order to controll a dimmable lightbulb. Buttons 1 and 2 are for on/off, keeping button 3 down dims the bulb gradually and keeping button 4 down brightens it. I hope you like it! Feel free to improve on it and share.

it would work nicely for a Lightify controller as well. 
top press - on
top hold - increase brightness
bottom hold - decrease brightness
bottom press - off

Nice idea!
To be honest, I also thought about making it work with only 2 buttons, since you don’t really need 4 for what it does.

Hi! How do you set a variable change before selecting a device (with), and the “async while variable is true”? Could you also explain me a little bit how are the variables playing here?
I’m kind of a noob here
Thanks

I just had a quick look at this and I see it caters for 16 buttons, on my button remote I have 8 physical buttons.
My questions are as follows.
I am using my button remote for lots of things using a DH that gives me 48 buttons via push, double click and hold.
- Will I be able to use the last 4 buttons presses that I have free (one and a third buttons) to do what you have here?
- Would it be easier to abandon my existing set up and do all that I have set up in the ST DH in WebCore?
I expect if it’s possible in ST then it is also possible in here, but probably a lot more complex.
I use this button remote everyday for everything from light’s and sockets to firing up my Harmony set ups and turning siren off.

I’m really a beginner in webcore. My question is how can one translate this script to work with a specific wall remote? When I try to import the piston it cannot recognize my nodon wall switch as a keypad.
