Add a service to fire an event

I actually did it before reading your comment, the way you mentioned!

For anyone interested, I solved it via ONE script (for all), and expanding the data in the triggers.

First, the automation you want to build. Especially important the triggers info: id, event:data and command within. It’s a bit more than the simple use of triggers.

alias: Comedor y TV

trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: command
    id: comedor
    event_data:
      command: comedor
  - platform: event
    event_type: command
    id: tele
    event_data:
      command: tele

condition: []

action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: tele
        sequence:
          - scene: scene.tele
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: comedor
        sequence:
          - scene: scene.comedor_2
    default:
      - scene: scene.comedor_2
  - scene: scene.comedor
  - service: script.tado_home
    data: {}
mode: single

Second, the button calling the script with the data.

type: button
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: script.convert_to_event
  service_data:
    command: 'comedor'

You can re-use the tap_action part to any button, double_tap_action or hold_action!

And finally, the script to convert commands into events. Very simple:

alias: Convert to event
sequence:
  - event: command
    event_data:
      command: '{{ command }}'
mode: single

The event is command, and it contains event_data with command: and the actual command to be passed (from the button in step 3, to the automation in step 1).

Let me know if there’s a simpler way to do this!
