Local button with LEDC did not trigger

ESPHome
1

Hey,

i am new in HA and YAML, i tried a lot now and didn’t find my misstake.

current test setup:

  • 1x PIR sensor (PIN 33, 27k Pull-Down)
  • 1x LEDC driver (PIN 25)
  • 1x touch button (PIN 34, 27k Pull-Down)

What is working:

  • I see PIR in HA
  • I can switch and dim LED via HA.

What is not working:

  • on_click to activate the light with PIR

My final goal:
If PIR (on time 15 sec) is detect movement switch on the LED for 2 min with 50% brightness.
If PIR has detecting in between the LED is on, restart the 2 min timer.
IF a touch botton is used don’t use the PIR :wink: (second step)

Your PIR probably doesn’t give a short <350ms click and I’s getting ignored.
Try with on_press: instead.

3

Do you see the pir getting activated in the logs?

4

Yes I can see the pir detection on the log.

Thank you, I will try on_press.

5

on_press is working, so the light goes on.
Thank you all for the support.

Big thanks to T3m3z @github esphome for the delay function template.
