Hold_action (button.press) not working on android app

Mobile Apps
1

To make a long story short.
I have added a hold_action to a picture-entity card. The action to take is a button.press with an entity_id as a tartget

hold_action:
              action: perform-action
              perform_action: button.press
              target:
                entity_id: button.br_tv_power

When I hold the button on my PC (left mouse button) the action is performed correctly. But when I hold the button in the HA android app, nothing happens.

Then when I ad a double_tap_action with the same button.press and the same entity_id as a target, it works both on the PC and in the app.

double_tap_action:
              action: perform-action
              perform_action: button.press
              target:
                entity_id: button.br_tv_power

Known issue and it looks like it should be fixed next release:

Edit: Actually realizing your issue is slightly different, but I wonder if it’s the same cause/fix.

Appreciate your response.
I wasn’t planning on using both the double_tap_action and the hold_action, so for now I just use the one that is working and I patiently wait for the next release.

Have spent too much time on it, thinking I did something wrong.
Wondering if there was a difference between

action: button.press
vs
call service: with service: button.press and service_data the entity_id
(That’s just me struggeling with yaml I spose)

Then I found the code that I included in my first post actually worked on the PC, just not on the Android app.

Wait and see :slight_smile:
