Scene and VD to dim Hue bulbs with fibaro dimmer

[Guest reiniertc]

I'm replacing conventional bulbs with HUE bulbs, and came across the issue that the HU bulbs cant be dimmed like regular bulbs.

So I created a setup in which I can dim the HUE bulbs with a fibaro dimmer. 

 

What's needed for this setup:

- The dimmed HUE bulbs are all connected to a continuos power source

- a fibaro dimmer, it doesnt have to have a light source connected to it, just power is enough

- a Hue user in the hue bridge

- a lua script that checks for changes in de the dim value of the dimmer

- a virtual device with the code to actually dim the hue's.

 

Virtual device:

I created a virtual device with 1 button, with this code:

LUA script:

the "5 value" refers to the ID of my fibaro dimmer
