I figured out how to make a widget on my android phone to make a button the activates a light but is there a way to have a widget activate an automation?
Thanks
Trigger?
or turn the automation on/off (ie: enable/disable) ?
Either way, the answer is yes.
Create a toggle as a trigger, add that as a widget
That would work definitely but no need for an extra entity (toggle)
There is a widget type called action trigger. You can call action/service automation.trigger, set the interested automation id and it is done.
To be able to activate the “Then” part of a program. Example, when i push the widget button i would like to temporarily turn off motion notifications on my Reolink cameras. Thanks for the replies
Lots of ways to do it. If you want to turn off the notifications, either turn the automation off or create a toggle which you include as a Condition and turn that on/off as required.
