Hey everyone, I have a strange dimming behavior with my hue tap dial. While dimming darker or brighter, the light dimms accordingly but then jumps 20, 40 or more percent higher until 100%. I tested the dimmer with a third party zigbee cct led controller and a hue e27 white and color 804 lumen bulb. both with the same result. I testes with all possible dimming steps 5-10-25 and 50%. Do I have to make other changes? Gateway Version: 2.31.2 App Version: 2.0.12 deConz on an Hombridge RPi4 Thanks Hanimaniac ---

Hi, Are you able to dim properly using the rest api? ---

The Dimming via the Api/App works normal. ---

When debugging with the Rest-API in the Phoscon App, I can see that every button press from the tap dial switch is recognized, but the rotary events are just like coincidence that phoscon recognize the event. I recorded 2 Videos to show the problem: [![](https://forum.phoscon.de/uploads/default/original/2X/c/cce1dfdca7d1da1545bb7462fb90cf70c3f335b6.jpeg "Philips Hue Tap Dial fehlerhaftes Dimmverhalten.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGqQd30tAyo) and [![](https://forum.phoscon.de/uploads/default/original/2X/6/60d071207b7b25422d72adb3284b9409ee20686b.jpeg "Philips Hue Tap Dial fehlerhaftes Dimmverhalten.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW6mP5lzSjY) ---

Thanks for the info. We will do some tests with the switch and check what the problem could be. ---

So we found some problems with the switch editor and the created rules for the hue tap dial and will fix it soon. ---
