blueprint:
name: Button Light Control with Brightness Stepping
description: |
Control lights with a button that supports single press (toggle), double press (scene),
and brightness stepping (hold up/down). Perfect for buttons that emit brightness_step
events with direction attributes.
**Features:**
- Single press: Toggle light on/off
- Double press: Set warm scene (50% brightness, 2700K)
- Hold button: Brightness up/down stepping
**Requirements:**
- Button device that emits `brightness_step` events with `direction` attribute
- No additional helpers needed - brightness step is configured via slider
