Philips Hue Smart Button sends multiple Hold events

I am trying to configure Philips Hue Smart Button in Hue Essentials so that a first press and hold decreases light brightness and second press and hold increases brightness.

But it seems that the button sends out a Hold event every second while the button is pressed, and Hue Essentials is responding to every one of these, alternately as first and second press. This means the lights just end up flickering as they are decreasing for a second, increasing for a second, and repeating while the button is pressed.

Is it possible to configure something in Hue Essentials so that it ignores all but the first Hold event until the next Release(Hold) event?

Thanks
