I have an AEOTECH button,
,
I have it properly added to my Smartthings hub,
. And i works it show “Pressed” when I press it.
I have the smart things intergration connected to Home assistant, but when it bring the button it it is only showing the temp and diagnostic.
HOW DO I GET HA TO BRING IN THE BUTTON VALUE?

That is the Problem, I want the Capability of a button, but when I try to set up the automation the button ability is not there.

You would need to use an Event trigger . The event type would be smartthings.button
.

Something like this
description: ""
mode: single
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: smarthings.button
condition: [pressed]
action:
- type: turn_off
device_id: e515337a11d4aaec0ecbb7841a53bc41
entity_id: 6c1642165f55cc9ad92396e6153aedcf
domain: switch
I don’t have to much experience with YAML, I usally let home assistant do the work for me

You can see in smart things that the button has three entities, but only two, the diagnostics and sensors are coming into ha

If you look in the docs , you can see the supported platforms. Button is not one of them, which is why I asked what the “capability” (or capabilities) it provides is. If it is really a button, you have to write the YAML automation to trigger on the event.
Also in the docs is the Debugging section. You can see what is happening when you press the button.
