Changing the selected value of Entity with a button

Configuration
1

I have an entity with two states Enabled and Disabled. I want to create a button that would toggle the selected state. I am new to HA and the solution seems to elude me.

I created a button card and it shows me the entity and it’s state. But if I select Toggle under Tap Action, I get a warning “Service select.turn_off not found.” If I set it to default More Info, and click the icon, I can then change the value.

You need to use the Call Service option, not Toggle.

Then for the service use select.select_next. In the code editor it should look something like:

show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: select.select_next
  target:
    entity_id: select.example
  data:
    cycle: true
entity: select.example

Thank you, I tried select.select_option and couldn’t get that to work. select:select_next works perfectly.
