TL;DR
When I call the service to press a helper button I get an error:
[homeassistant.helpers.service] Referenced entities input_button.door_camera_alarm are missing or not currently available
Context:
I am using Frigate NVR with home assistant’s Lovelace integration. The camera I am using has a native sound out and I am using a curl shell script to sound the alarm. To trigger the shell script I created a helper button and automation that calls the script if the button is pressed.
In the card however I am suing a service to call a button press action:
- type: custom:frigate-card-menu-icon
title: Alarm
icon: mdi:bullhorn
entity: input_button.door_camera_alarm
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: button.press
service_data:
entity_id: input_button.door_camera_alarm
Every part works individually… except then I call a service to press the button. (If I press the button in the helper it works fine too)
