ControllerX with PTM215XLightController and multiple independent lights

Question
Hi Xavi,
I've got this PTM215XL light controller, currently configured with 2 paddles. This provides the 4 buttons (press_1, press_2, press_3 and press_4 and their corresponding release events). I've successfully configured the switch when controlling a single light (which we've previously discussed). However, now I'm trying something different. I'd like press_1/press_2 to control 1 set of HUE light bulbs, and press_2/press_3 to control a different (non Hue, non zigbee2mqtt) light. Based on the examples, I thought the following would work
office_dimmer:
module: controllerx
#class: RunlesswireClickLightController
class: PTM215XLightController
controller: sensor.officeswitch_action
integration: z2m
light: light.office_lights
merge_mapping:
press_1:
action: click
attribute: on
press_2:
action: click
attribute: off
office_cabinet:
module: controllerx
class: PTM215XLightController
controller: sensor.officeswitch_action
integration: z2m
light: light.office_cabinet
merge_mapping:
press_3:
action: click
attribute: on
press_4:
action: click
attribute: off
However, the result was that press_1/press_2 turned on/off both lights, and press_3/press_4 did dim/bright for both lights.
Do you have any recommendations for achieving my goal?
I'm on the latest of Home Assistant Core 2023.2.1, AppDaemon 0.11.0, and ControllerX 4.25.0.
Thanks,
Sean

I'm still having an issue. I studied the examples, and based on the examples, I tried the following code as well (use mapping instead of merge mapping, and "quote" the on/off attributes.
office_dimmer:
module: controllerx
#class: RunlesswireClickLightController
class: PTM215XLightController
controller: sensor.officeswitch_action
integration: z2m
light: light.office_lights
mapping:
press_1:
action: click
attribute: "on"
press_1_release:
action: release
press_2:
action: click
attribute: "off"
press_2_release:
action: release
office_cabinet:
module: controllerx
class: PTM215XLightController
controller: sensor.officeswitch_action
integration: z2m
light: light.office_cabinet
mapping:
press_3:
action: click
attribute: "on"
press_3_release:
action: release
press_4:
action: click
attribute: "off"
press_4_release:
action: release
Press_1/Press_2 appear to work ok. But Press_3/Press_4 don't seem to do anything.
When looking at the logs, in the appdaemon "main" log, things look OK for both sets of buttons
2023-02-05 19:23:09.854707 INFO office_cabinet: 🏃 Running `Predefined (click)` now

But I see these messages in the "error" log. Messages seem to show an error for both office_cabinet and office_dimmer, but office_light does appear to work while office_cabinet doesn't.

Both paddles seem to generate the same error/warning, but one of them actually works, while the other doesn't switch the light on/off. One other thing to note is that the light that works is controlled by z2m (hue bulbs), while the other is a generic light controlled by HA (via ISY994 integration).

Hi Xavi,
Some more progress...
NOTE: I didn't see this mentioned in the documentation. If you "define" a new "app"/controller, I need to restart appdaemon for the changes to be "seen", but if I modify attributes to an already defined "app" (e.g. experiment with the various options), I can just modify and save the text file, and the changes apply immediately. This is much easier than restarting appdaemon each time. It might be useful to let other people know this in the documentation.
Calling the light service directly instead of defining the attributes seemed to allow me to get press_3/press_4 to work correctly. I'm not sure why it didn't work without this. The warnings about missing attributes in the prior tests went away for these presses.
However, I still note the warnings on press_1/press_2. Strangely, they seem to refer to direction and mode "attributes" that are missing. So, I tried defining them, and then got a different message.
office_sw_left:
module: controllerx
class: PTM215XLightController
controller: sensor.officeswitch_action
integration: z2m
light: light.office_lights
mapping:
press_1:
action: click
attribute: "on"
direction: "up"
mode: "stop"
press_1_release:
action: release
press_2:
action: click
attribute: "off"
#direction: "down"
#mode: "stop"
press_2_release:
action: release
office_sw_right:
module: controllerx
class: PTM215XLightController
controller: sensor.officeswitch_action
integration: z2m
light: light.office_cabinet
mapping:
press_3:
service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.office_cabinet
brightness: 255
transition: 0.35
press_3_release:
action: release
press_4:
service: light.turn_off
data:
entity_id: light.office_cabinet
#brightness: 255
press_4_release:
action: release
Here are the "errors". Note the difference between press_1/press_2. Press_2 complains that some attributes are not provided (since I commented them out), while press_1 says that "on" is not a valid option to the "click" action, even though it complained about it missing in a prior message
