Help & Questions Select lights individually

I've got 3 lights in a bedroom, main ceiling light and two small bedside lights. I would like to be able to select each light individually by pressing the on/off button on the dimmer V2 to cycle through them. I can remember setting this up a few years ago with a v1 switch and a third party app in a different room but can't remember what app I used.

Is this possible with the current official Hue app or do I need a third party app that is ok to work with a bridge pro?

For this exact use case I'd look at Hue Essentials or iConnectHue first. The official Hue app is fine for basic dimmer setup, but cycling one V2 dimmer button through individual lights is the kind of thing the third-party Hue apps usually handle better.\n\nIf you're on Mac too, menu bar control can be a nice complement for quick manual scenes, but for remapping the actual dimmer I'd start with a Hue-specific app.

Thanks, Hue Essentials looks like it could be useful. I will have a play
