I have a pyscript automation setup, in which I control my Heatpump based on if I have enough solar power available or not. Now I would like to turn on and off the automation with a toggle switch from my frontend. I would like to do this by setting a state to 0 or 1, such that my automation script then can run or not. But for the live of me, I cannot figure out how to add a toggle button to the lovelace frontend. Therefore: How can I get a toggle button to toggle a state which then can be read from my pyscript.
Note that I do know how to make my PyScript automation react to this state, but I need Lovelace to toggle this state…
Sorry for this pretty newby question, I am sure, but I searched quite some while and I could not find how to do this. I found how to trigger events, but that is not what I want to do.
Create an input_boolean in settings/devices&services/helpers. Use this to trigger your automations. In one automation set it from on to off and other automation off to on.
The input_boolean."your helper toggle name " will be an entity. Put it in an entity card or entities card and it will appear as a toggle switch. When switched one way it triggers one automation and toggled the other way toggles the second automation.
Ahh, perfect. The entities card is what I was searching for. Thanks very much!
Just one last question. Can I somehow put the entities card and a button which calls a service in one panel?
