6 Button Box and Wemos D1 without Relays

ESPHome
1

Hello Out there,
i’m new to Home Assistance and iOT.

Electronics as Hardware are really small problems because i am Radio Technician. But software is sometimes a little tricky.

I got some RGB and White LED Stripes and some Wemos driven Relays to work with HA via Phone or Tablet. But now i have to do the next Step. Wemos or ESP32 with some or some more buttons to trigger something in HA.

For instance I need six buttons in an enclosure with an wemos d1.
For one RGB Stripe behind the TV there is another wemos D1.
On the Ceiling there is another RGB Stripe with another Wemos D1.
Nearby the Light switch there is my enclosure with the six buttons.
Three buttons for every RGB Strip. On/Off, Dimmer+, Dimmer-
Everything should be controlled thru an Raspi with Home Assistant/ Scripts.
The RGB Stripes are working and can be controlled thru my Tablet via webbrowser/HA.

Which commands do I need not to waste GPIO’s for Relays?

I think my English is horrible, but I’ve tried my best…

Greetings from Germany

Jürgen

Welcome to forum!
I have no idea what you are asking, language might be the problem.
Anyway,

Wemos is a brand. It makes famous D1 mini Esp8266, commonly known “d1 mini”.
It also makes also D1 mini Esp32, completely different board.
Which one you have?

What does this mean?

Hello, i’m using Wemos D1 mini esp8266.
For one Button everyone has to use 1 GPIO for a Button, and another for Relay. I don’t want relays in my enclosure. Only six Buttons for triggering something via MQTT/Script in HA.

You invented that.
And d1 mini doesn’t even have enough pins for 6 buttons and 6 relays.

All you need is 6 buttons connected to GND on one side and to 6 separate GPIO pins on other side.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin:
      number: GPIO4 # your gpio pin number
      inverted: true
      mode:
        input: true
        pullup: true
    id: button1
    name: "Button1"
    filters:
      - delayed_on_off: 20ms
    on_press:
      then:
#your automation for MQTT here...
