Esphome button hold

ESPHome

Hello, I’m trying to use press and hold functions for the button but when I hold the button it keeps sending state on and state off while holding instead of state on when I hold and state off when I release.
Does anyone know what is the problem?
When I invert it works correct just the states are on after releasing and off while holding.

Code and logs and wiring.

[12:36:38][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state ON
[12:36:38][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state OFF
[12:36:38][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state ON
[12:36:39][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state OFF
[12:36:39][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state ON
[12:36:39][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state OFF
[12:36:39][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state ON
[12:36:40][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state OFF
[12:36:40][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state ON
[12:36:40][D][binary_sensor:036]: ‘button_1’: Sending state OFF

This happens while I’m holding

Did you manage to fix this? I have the same exact problem

use ‘duty_cycle’, ‘on_click’ and ‘on_press’ :wink:
F.e.

  # Sensor to detect button push (via duty_cycle of 50hz mains signal)
  - platform: duty_cycle
    pin: GPIO13
    internal: true
    id: sensor_push_switch
    name: "${node_id} Sensor Push Switch"
    update_interval: 20ms

  #Binary sensor (on/off) which reads duty_cyle sensor readings.
  - platform: template
    id: switch1
    internal: true
    name: "${node_id} Switch Binary Sensor"
    # read duty_cycle, convert to on/off
    lambda: |-
      if (id(sensor_push_switch).state < 95.0) {
        return true;
      } else {
        return false;
      }
    # Short Click - toggle light only
    on_click:
      max_length: 300ms
      then:
        light.toggle: light_main
    # Generic On_Press - log press, toggle DIM Direction and reset press interval counter
    on_press:
      then:
        - logger.log: "Switch 1 Press"
        - lambda: |-
            if (id(g_direction_1) == 0) {
              id(g_direction_1) = 1;
            } else {
              id(g_direction_1) = 0;
            }
            id(g_counter_1) = 0;
