Hi folks,
I have DIY doorbell by using hue dimmer switch in parallel with my doorbell button to make the doorbell smart to trigger the notification. It kinda works but for some reason there are ghosts events generated and the dimmer switch is saying it is pressed even though it is physically not.
The ghost event trigger only one event so I want to send the notification only for the real button press. Need to figure out why those ghost are happening but in the meantime…
Can someone please help to configure the automation in a way that it is triggering the notification only after 2 or 3 same events are received within one or two seconds?
Events triggered by doorbell press are like that - for some reason two or three are triggered within very short time:
event_type: hue_event
data:
id: doorbell_button
device_id: 6023030be9879fcff999a17fb50306d9
