Hi I’ve got 2 light bulbs in my living room, which I want to light on both at the moment the (physical) lamp button is pressed. But the problem I have is that the automation triggers twice, when pushing one of the two lamp buttons. Is there a way to solve this? Because now I have to press the bu…

Can you do us a favour and rewrite your automation actions to use service calls with entity_ids (switch.turn_on) rather than device actions? Then we could tell what switches you are actually turning on/off. Rather than these meaningless numbers: [image] 1mfaasj: then: - type: turn_on…

Thanks for the suggestion. Are service calls more best practice than using device calls? But the device names on top are indeed the same devices as mentioned by ID at the end of the automation

You have two lamps and two lamp buttons. What do you want to happen? The automation is (as I think you know) doing what it is told: you press one of the buttons which triggers it, it then “presses” the other button which triggers it again. Are you wanting to operate both lamps from either button?

When I press one of the two lamp buttons, it should enable both bulbs When the bulbs are on and I push one of the buttons again, both bulbs should go off. Thats it basicly @Troon

[image] 1mfaasj: are you sure this works? It doesn’t, no idea where that’s come from. It’s not in the docs and doesn’t make sense as a trigger. Ignore.

They just need a ‘follow me’ automation. Their automation needs some debouncing. - alias: Light bulbs living room buttons On id: dkjsiofuozneahtosihasiodfu trigger: - platform: state entity_id: - switch.shellyeettafellampknop - switch.shellywoonkamerlampknop variables: …

Apologies, I will be more diligent next time
