Can I trigger a HA script from ESPHome?

ESPHome

I have a script in Home Assistant that I would like to execute from ESPHome.

In ESPHome I have a binary sensor which is connected to a button in my device, but when pressed I want to run a script defined in Home Assistant.

If it’s not directly possible, what if I use a helper entity that the physical button on the binary_sensor toggles, and an automation in HA that triggers on the helper entity changing, then that automation would run the script?

for example…
when i press and hold my dimmer switch for 2sec, it runs a script that turn on or off my ac

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin:
      number: $rotary1_sw
      inverted: true
      mode:
        input: true
        pullup: true 
    name: "Rotary1 Switch"
    device_class: light
    on_click:
      min_length: 2000ms
      max_length: 3000ms
      then:
        - homeassistant.service:
            service: script.office_ac

The above example should work fine, however it would help if you posted what you have already, then we might find out where the confusion lies.
