Indication for script "Execute" button press

Configuration Frontend
1

i am using a shown script in lovelace and the issue with it is that there is no indication that it was really pressed - i wonder what are the options to show some indication that the script’s “execute” button was actually pressed - is it possible to show some dialog for 2 seconds or something similar?

I also have this question, is there any way to indicate that the script button was pressed?

I have a simple script with a delay:

radio:
  sequence:
    - service: media_player.media_pause
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.hifiberry
    - delay:
        seconds: 1
    - service: shell_command.hifiberry_mpd

since there’s a delay in the script, if type: entities is used in lovelace, it displays as a switch.
when pressed, switch indicates on state for 1 second and then goes back off.

type: entities
entities:
  - script.radio

I have however a problem on IOS platform - there is no indication of press when type: button is used in lovelace. when the button is clicked, the script is triggered but there is no visual feedback (no icon change, nothing).

type: button
entity: script.radio
tap_action:
  action: toggle
hold_action:
  action: more-info
show_icon: true
show_name: true

is there any solution to this?

if you switch to the custom button card you can get haptic feedback if you have a newer IOS. Otherwise you can make animations occur if you have an old iphone.

for now, I sorted it out using “automation helper”. that makes the icon change the color for 50 milliseconds indicating it was pressed.

configuration.yaml

input_boolean:
  radio:
    initial: off

automations.yaml

- alias: "AUT: radio toggle helper"
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.radio
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.radio
    - delay:
        milliseconds: 50
    - service: homeassistant.turn_off
      entity_id: input_boolean.radio

How do you use this in some context?
