Last weekend I moved 4 wifi in wall light switches and three sonoff basics to ESPHOME using the native HA API. For the most part I’m loving it and the switches respond much faster than when they had Tasmota on them. When I had them with Tasmota, I could program in additional functionality such as a double tap and a long tap which would send a different MQTT message through. This allowed me to set up additional automations based on the type of press. Does anyone know if this type of functionality exists in ESPHOME?
Thank you for the quick reply Otto and all of your hard work on this. I was able to get the double click and long click functionality working on my switches. I saw it mentioned somewhere that it’s in the works to have ability to use MQTT and the API simultaneously. Any idea when this will be available?
@forums2012 I’m sure the formatting will be jacked, but you get the idea. This config has one click turn on whatever is plugged in to the Sonoff enabled extension cord. Two clicks turns a bedside lamp on and off (Zigbee bulb) and holding the button for more than a few seconds turns off every inside light in the house.
