ESPhone physical button

[mattpitts74 (Matt Pitts)]

Hi Guys, I’ve been dipping into ESphome and setup a couple of temp sensors, without any issues. I’d also like to setup a d1 mini as a physical button to control some scenes within HA.

I’m struggling to do this. I have a small button shield for the d1 mini connected to D3. I thought it was as simple as using the GPIO Switch but I cannot get it working.

I’d appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

You are sensing a binary input. Not switching an output. Yes you’re using a switch but that’s not the terminology used. This is what you want, it supports single and double click:

Binary Sensor Component

There’s even multi click.

Another example of multi-click:

ESPhome, Sonoff and external switches

Hello @efleming, how are you? I have many sonoffs basics running EspHome with external switches. I’ve used GPIO14, TX and TX to attach three different physical switches with single, double, triple, quadruple, many and long presses modes, so I can use them with automations do do whatever you want with those click types. If you use it with three switches, you will have 17 possible functions, excluding the first switch, single press that is attached to the main relay. There is also a text sensor t…
