Hey Freddie and everyone.
First of all, thanks for your hard and beautiful work with Hue Tap, especially with the blueprint to make the life easier. I love Hue Taps as I think they can do almost everything what you need for your lights and music in one device. I was trying to use your blueprint, but unfortunately, I can’t set up few things the way I would like to.
I came to slightly different idea, but have no idea how can I achieve it as I don’t have any knowledge it yaml coding or programming at all. So please don’t judge me too much. I was trying to do it in UI itself, but couldn’t get anywhere near. So I’m trying to twist you yaml, but it’s not working too.
My idea is to get rid of the last pressed helper and use a double tap detection as a trigger to related buttons. The main reason for that is. If I used button 1 for lights then I won’t be able adjust volume on button 3 until I press it and if my Sonos if on already it will switch it off and obviously vice versa.
Below is my target for all actions that I would like to archive and yaml with your coding that I’m trying to twist.
Would you mind please to have a look at it what I’m doing wrong as I’m getting error when I’m trying to save the blue print.
