Hi all,
I’m looking for the best way to keep a wall switch and an LED striplight in sync. The LED’s are a custom component that I have built into my desk and are controlled by MQTT. They are set up in home assistant as a switch and are working fine with all automations (switch.officedeskLED).
The wall switch is a MOES Zigbee unit, the first switch controls the overhead lights (hardwired) and the second switch controls the desk LED strip, this manifests in Home Assistant as a light (light.officewallswitch_2)
I currently tend to control the desk lights either via a StreamDeck, Alexa or automations. In order to also use the wall switch and keep it synchronised I’m using four individual automations;
Desk turns on >> Turn on wall switch
Desk turns off >> Turn off wall switch
Wall turns on >> Turn on Desk
Wall turns off >> Turn off Desk
Is there a better way of handling this? Without being able to put automations in folders (really would like to see this), it seems a cumbersome method.
I’ve looked at groups but the entities are of different types.
I’m open to ideas?
Cheers!
