Remote pi running HA has an attached usb RfxTrx. I can add a LightwaveRF switch which appears as a device and create an automation from it for “received command on”. I am using this rather than state change, because I want to trigger from an “off” button press even if the sensor is already off.
This is the device filter on the Remote, showing that the device has been created.
this is the working automation screen on the Remote.
I actually want the automation running in the primary HA not the remote. However, I can only see the entities in the primary - there are no devices, so I can’t create the same device automation.
This is the entity view on the primary. There’s nothing in device menu.
I’m only a few weeks into HA, so not quite clear yet on the subtleties between devices and entities - I’ve read the obvious docs, but it isn’t sinking in.
Should the devices come across from Remote? Or do I need to create them manually on the primary? Or something else?
Thanks for any pointers!
