You mean like this one? https://www2.meethue.com/en-us/support/dimmer-switch

I know about it. I have it. I've used it as a trigger before. I've replaced it with NFCs because they are less of a hassle to repurpose. The dimmer still serves its original purpose, while NFC tags are used for everything else.
