Automation: Switch press

Configuration
1

Hey all,

i have this entity: switch.downstairs_hallway_chime_snooze_2

I can trigger this via the button card in my UI
However, if want to trigger this via an automation im not sure which service to call?

  • “button.press” or
  • “swtich.toggle”
  • “switch.on”
    seem to show this entity in the devices

thoughts?

card:

  - show_name: true
    show_icon: true
    type: button
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
      confirmation:
        text: Are you sure you want to snooze for 30min?
    entity: switch.downstairs_hallway_chime_snooze_2
    name: Snoozen Chime 30min

I know the button works as the notification comes up and i see the event trigger

- id: ikea_button_snooze_chime
  alias: Ikea Button Snooze Chime
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: deconz_event
    event_data:
      id: chime_snooze
      event: 1002
  action:
  - service: button.press
    target:
      entity_id: button.downstairs_hallway_chime_snooze_2
  - service: notify.persistent_notification #notify.notify
    data_template:
      message: "Chime snoozed for 30min"
      title: Chime Snooze!
