Welcome. You need to explain a bit more what you mean: there isn’t enough information there for us to help you.

  1. “Create a button”: on your dashboard? What’s it for?
  2. “entity”: Do you mean “description”, or “state”?

okay so have lights in tuya smart life app with an automation to set the brightness to 100 (Lights Max)
then i have another automation that sets the brightness to 10 (Movie mode on)
i need one button that switches between those 2

o and i already have the automations in HA as an entity

The easiest is to create two scenes (that you described). Then implement two buttons. One that turns on scene 1 and another that turns on scene 2.

Option2, a bit more complicated, but potentially nicer for the dashboard.
You create a helper that toggles if scene 1 is on. another that toggles if scene 2 is on.
Based on that helper you create 2 conditional button cards. One that is displayed if scene 1 is active (that button would toggle scene 2) and another if scene 2 is active (this one would toggle scene 1). You could probably also get away with one helper and then display the second conditional button if the helper is toggled to “off” instead of “on”. This would result in two buttons on the dashboard - however only one of them would be displayed at a time. If you use a grid card and put both conditional buttons into the same row/cell “thingy” then they would essentially replace each other visually.

I use this option to show a different button on my dashboard when my lights are on vs. off. (off = simply button, on = mushroom light card with dimmer controll).
