Hi,
I’m looking for a good example of a basic automation for a button and light.
The button only has 2 actions: “single click” and “long click”
This is what I want to happen:
- single click: toggle light
- long click: increase brightness
- release: stop increase brightness
- if a long click is immediatly (within 2 seconds) followed by another long click, the “increase brightness” becomes “decrease brightness” (and vice versa)
I suppose I need to define some extra entities (a timer to define if there is a long click within 2 seconds after another long click, and a “direction” parameter wether the brightness has to increase or decrease)
This behaviour should simulate the “normal” behaviour of an old school (wired) button in some offices where you can manipulate on/off and brightness with just one button.
Question:
- does anybody have already implemented this automation? Can you share that example?
- can this automation be “saved” and reused on other button/lights? Is it done with a “blueprint”? (never worked with this)
any help is appreciated,
kind regards,
Bart
