How to change the increment value

Configuration
1

Hi,

I’m working on an S0PCM5 sensor, to count pulses from the utility sensors.
That is working fine most of the time, but sometimes it misses some pulses.

For that reason, I have a helper for each counter (just talking about the first one, to keep things short):

input_number.m1_offset

When I notice I missed pulses, I need to correct this offset. For various reasons, I want to to this with a button, which increments this offset. So I made a helper button:

input.button.add_m1

On the dashboard, I added a ‘Button’ card, selected this button, and on the click action, I used:

call_service: input_number.increment -> entity: input_number.m1_offset

When I click the button, the input_number is incremented with 0.001, which is the step size of the input_number.m1_offset helper.

Because my correction can be bigger, I want to know if there is a way to change the value of this increment, eg 0.01, 0.1, 1, or even -1.

I’ve put this in a grid card, which results in the following yaml:

square: true
columns: 2
type: grid
cards:
  - type: entity
    entity: input_number.m1_offset
  - show_name: true
    show_icon: true
    type: button
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: input_number.increment
      data: {}
      target:
        entity_id: input_number.m1_offset
    entity: input_button.add_m1
    hold_action:
      action: none

Is it possible to change the value the service is incrementing with?

You can make separate buttons with separate step sizes:

    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: input_number.increment
      data:
        step: 0.1

Hi tom_i,
Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately it doesn’t work:

show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: input_number.increment
  data:
    step: 10
  target:
    entity_id: input_number.add_testnumber
entity: input_button.add10
name: '+10'

Gives me:

I was wondering where I can find that/if the data field accepts attrib/value pairs, and what attribs are valid?

I am missing a kind of reference guide, where all the possibilities are listed, with an explanation. Any pointers?

Looks like step is fixed to a single value.

You’d have to make your own increment script if you want a variable step.
