Request: Give Dimmers also an on/off button for more convenience

Athomey

Dimmers (at least the BeNext wallplug I tried) only shows a 0%..100% bar to control the amount of dimming.

I _really_ miss the on/off button that VeraEdge also puts on it. That has two big advantages: #1 much easier to enable/disable with one click #2 you can then set it back to the "remembered" %, instead of having to slide to the right place #3 

My request is to add an on/off switch to Homey dimmers. Thx for reading and considering this! Keep up the good work!

Homey:



VeraEdge:


I think people migrating from HC2/Vera will certainly miss this switch.

Also missing the on/of switch

Does pressing the "image" of the socket on the left not toggle the state?

UPDATE:  Dimmers DO seem to have on/off functionality, but it doesn't work for the BeNext dimmer, see this issue: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/165

Try pressing the socket image I haven't tried it with the BeNext dimmer.
