I just installed this card from HACS a couple of days ago and set up a bunch of buttons last night. All are working as expected. I am running 0.115.6 of Home Assistant (Supervised) and 1.2.0 of Check Button Card. Is the problem with 0.116 of HASS?

And now I know. The problem IS with 0.116 apparently. I had not heard how 0.116 was going to be breaking a number of custom cards unless they made some changes. While this particular card wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me, Custom Header certainly was, so I suppose I will be sticking with 0.115.6 for a while.
Anyone else having issues after updating to 2021.12?
All my sensors are unavailable allthough everything is there in my mqtt broker
Logs are saying :

Same problem here
Could it be related to below on 2021.12?
“Timestamp/Date device class value changes
When using datetime and date device classes in sensors, the returned native value must (respectively) be a datetime or date Python object.”
Anyone got a fix for this?
unfortunatly not yet… also looking for a solution… the idea of the plugin is great; but it’s no longer maintained…
Thankyou!!!
Hey Brian,
Mind sharing your yaml
Thanks
Hello All,
This is great add on. However I have been having some issues which I have spent some time over but just can’t figure it out. Please help!!
- How can I remove an entity in MQTT once it is created. I can’t use MQTT explorer
- When I add a button on one it shows " 52 years" well if I can delete it then problem solved
Thanks for the help. Help me get some sleep 
I got also a problem:
Im getting following errors
Invalid state message ‘{“timestamp”:1624002370,“timestamp_friendly”:“6/18/2021, 9:46:10 AM”,“severity”:[{“value”:“12 months”,“color”:“Red”,“seconds”:31556952},{“value”:“11 months”,“color”:“Orange”,“seconds”:28927206}]}’ from ‘homeassistant/sensor/ontkalker/state’
Not sure why it happens with some and some not.
If i look at those that show the error, the state is unknown, although its been 12 months since the button was pushed…
Any ideas?
Yes I finally figured out how to use MQTT Explorer and fixed it. Thanks

Still a heavy user of check button card always keeping my eyes open for standard integration in home assistant with extended possibilities
- I want to draw your attention to this thread:
WTH don't we have a Chores/Tasks/Todo's automation/integration
Hi, I am using the button but I have a problem with the unit_of_measurement. I am using days but the card shows as output a week ago. I would like to know precisely if it is 7 days or if it is 8 days and so on. At the moment it just switched to weeks as a unit.
time to move on… will migrate my tasks now to activity-manager (GitHub - pathofleastresistor/activity-manager: A Home Assistant custom component to manage recurring activities.)
I am struggling with this, what object do you use in Node Red to update the sensor. I tried template
If anyone can help I would be grateful. After executing the flow the sensor does not get updated. What am I doing wrong? I have googled CHAT GPT everything…
Payload:
msg.payload : string[303]
"{"timestamp":1695481200,"timestamp_unix":1694611332,"timestamp_friendly":"9/13/2023, 9:22:12 AM","severity":[{"value":"2 days","color":"Red","seconds":172800},{"value":"1 days","color":"Yellow","seconds":86400}],"device_class":"timestamp","icon":"mdi:checkbox-marked","friendly_name":"rem_empty_vacuum"}"
This is my flow in node red
This my function from @Gluwc
// Define entity_id
const entityId = "sensor.rem_empty_vacuum";
// Get global object
const haObject = global.get("homeassistant");
// Get attributes object from entity
let payloadObject = haObject.homeAssistant.states[entityId].attributes;
// Get current timestamp in seconds
const currentTime = Math.trunc(Date.now() / 1000);
// Modify timestamp in payloadObject.
payloadObject.timestamp = currentTime;
// Create string from object
msg.payload = JSON.stringify(payloadObject);
return msg;
Sensor does not get updated
