I am just going to say it, I dont care for the Wiz lights, I thought these were normal Hue Smart lights, I think I have over 35 in house. Anyway, I used the Wiz App to pair, then used the Wiz Integration on HA, that all works fine. What I am trying to do is install a Dimmer. I have 10 lights in my Kitchen and Paired the Hue Dimmer Switch w the Hue App and it showed up in HA. I can turn the lights On and Off but I can't dimm the Wiz lights. Does anyone know how i can accomplish that? I also have a Lutron Bridge and Lutron Smart Switch but I understand that the smart lights and smart switch can sometimes go to war so I am not sure if that's an option. What I want to do is have a wall switch that dims my Hue Wiz lights - is that possible? Thanks!

The answer is "yes, it's possible", but it's not clear where you're hitting the problem. Are you unable to dim the Wiz lights at all? (e.g. you can't use the HA dashboard to do it?) or is the problem that you can't figure out how to dim the Wiz lights from within an automation?
From an automation, you can adjust the brightness of a light by using the "light.turn_on" action: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light/#action-lightturn_on The particular parameter that you would be interested in here is brightness_step_pct which lets you say what percentage to adjust the brightness by - it can be a positive number to increase brightness, or a negative number to decrease brightness.

Thanks - to clarify, a dashboard on our wall isnt an option so I am trying to do it with the dimmer switch. I dont know how to do it in automation, settings, or anything else. A perfect scenario is the Top Hue Switch turns on, the bottom turns off. The middle 2 dim up and down. Before I had HA, and only Hue, thats what i did.

Oh interesting. Does this mean I can, for example press button #2 (2nd from top) and go up 10% from whereever it is, use the bottom botton to go down 10%). Press top button 3 times and thats up 30%?

yes, that should be possible to do. unfortunately, i'm not familiar with the automation triggers available for the remote when using it via the hue bridge, so hopefully you can figure that out or someone else has some experience.
