Philips Button State

Use debug nodes to see the data going into that function and that coming out. Show us what you see.

I get 7x

object
action: "brightness_step_down"
action_step_size: 30
action_transition_time: 0.09
battery: 100
linkquality: 204
update: object
update_available: false

after that

object
action: "brightness_step_up"
action_step_size: 30
action_transition_time: 0.09
battery: 100
linkquality: 204
update: object
update_available: false

Where is msg.payload.brightness?

that is probably already the error. i just can't get this to work.

this is my current flow:

Hi, I don't understand what you want to achive.
If you want to dimm the light based of the time you press the button you could use "press" and "release" and have a seperate function that generates smaler steps and stops when the button will be released.
