There is a lot of complexity in my button press handler right now, which is specific to my setup and I am working to simplify. I wanted a generic automation that can work for multiple pico remotes dealing with multiple adaptive switches and multiple light switches through the use of configuration variables. So I am going to share an edited snippet of what should work for you, rather than my actual automation. It assumes some hard-coded entity IDs, rather than the variables that I use.

- alias: pico_light_on_buttonpress

pico_id: "{{ trigger.event.data.entity_id }}"

# On-Tap: Turn lights on with adaptive brightness & color
- conditions: "{{ button_pressed == 'on' and press_type == 'tap' }}"
sequence:
# You cannot apply both brightness and color when turning a light on from an off state.
# Manually apply the AL brightness first. This prevents a light from briefly going to
# its previous brightness before the AL component takes control. This way you don't blind
# yourself in the middle of the night.
- service: light.turn_on

# Action-Tap:
- conditions: "{{ button_pressed == 'action' and press_type == 'tap' }}"
# NOTE: This sequence has been removed as it was heavily customized to iterate through multiple lighting 'profiles'
sequence: []

. Thanks for reaching back out though.
