FAQ - Only Selecting Scripts

If only selecting a script in “Fan Switch” and “Fan Speed - Low Speed Switch”, it is recommended to enter in a dummy toggle helper to help the automation function correctly. It allows the by-pass and the built in Home Assistant restart safe guard option to function correctly.

If you have entered in a entity, example “Fan or Switch” then you don’t need to enter in a toggle helper as the fan or switch will be sufficient. It only applies if you are just using scripts only.

Below show an example of just scripts entered and then scripts with toggle helpers.

How to create a Toggle Helper

  1. Go to Settings / Devices & Services / click on the “Helpers” tab / click “+ CREATE HELPER” and select “Toggle”.

  2. In the name area, enter a name that best suits you. For this example we will put “Bathroom Fan High Speed Toggle Helper” and “Bathroom Fan Low Speed Toggle Helper”. Then click create for each toggle helper.
