Button Group?

[Sireone]

So I have several Fire Tablets running Fully Kiosk. I followed Lewis’s guide (below) on getting doorbell notifications using FKB which works great. What I now want to do is return all the tablets (7 of them!) using a single command. Is it possible to create a button press group? I didn’t see the option in the helpers available.

Thoughts?

Buttons don’t have a state, so probably not. Maybe an input_boolean? Seven tablets?

If you still need this that might help:

Is there a way to make an equivalent of groups for buttons?

OK I just need to forget about the group, an automation works just that each entity has to be selected, but by manually adding it in the yaml I can easily generate the list of my many devices and paste it in. - id: 'fw_all_update' alias: Update all Firmware description: '' trigger: - platform: state entity_id: - input_button.update_firmware condition: [] action: - service: button.press data: {} target: entity_id: - button.firmware_update - button.…

Thanks much! I realized this some time back and forgot to update this thread. You can actaully do this via the GUI in addition to yaml.

Yeah, in my case I need to add 500 devices, so yaml it is
