Pin is used in multiple places

[Cirion (Ronny Merino Gonzalez)]

@Cirion

I want to push the same button differently, then I need the same pin not only twice but multiple times.

1 sec = ON/OFF
5 sec = 1 Hour runtime
10 sec = 2 Hours runtime
15 sec = 3 Hours runtime

How do I do that when I can only program that pin only once?

I was writing something wrong…
Replacing the line “pin: GPIO32” with this worked :

pin:
  number: GPIO32
  allow_other_uses: true

You do it by not using Switch. You need to be using binary_sensor.

Binary Sensor Component

You can do multiple actions for a single binary_sensor aka button by selecting multiple min/max times as well as single click, double click, multi-click if you want or need as well.

I highly suggest familiarizing yourself with the documentation. Browse through it and see whats available, what does what, like the difference between Switch, Button, and binary_sensor etc.

Here i use 1 button for 2 lights. 1 is basically a single button push(50ms -350ms) and the other is more of a “push and hold” that triggers the second light(action).

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin:
      number: 13
      mode:
        input: true
        pullup: true
    name: "Bedroom/Porch Switch"    
    filters:
    - delayed_on: 10ms
    on_click:
    - min_length: 50ms
      max_length: 350ms
      then:
       - homeassistant.service:
           service: "switch.toggle"
           data:
             entity_id: "switch.bedroom"
    - min_length: 500ms
      max_length: 1000ms
      then:        
       - homeassistant.service:
           service: "switch.toggle"
           data:
             entity_id: "switch.back_porch_lights"
