Hi,
I have a remote control and a cover called and I want to create a simple automation that opens the cover when I press the remote control.
It doesn’t work, it looks like the trigger is not detected.
I’ve spent some time to debug and tweak with the settings and here’s more info:
I’ve been able to create an automation with a simple button in HA (input_button). When I click on it, it does open the cover, here is the automation in YAML:
- id: '1699126145447'
alias: Volet avec bouton
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- input_button.testbutton
condition: []
action:
- device_id: 4f65b2f80764b593044b325818415be2
domain: cover
entity_id: 2c8e30727104c3197a8472ee6ba7163b
type: set_position
position: 48
mode: single
When I create the automation for the remote in the UI, I have a few options in the “trigger” field when I select the remote as device:
- Télécommande Volet PC Opening opened
- Télécommande Volet PC Opening closed
- Télécommande Volet PC Identify has been pressed
- Télécommande Volet PC Battery battery level changes
I’ve selected the first one (and tried the second one as well), but it doesn’t work, here is the YAML produced:
- id: '1699126145448'
alias: Volet avec telecommande
description: ''
trigger:
- type: opened
platform: device
device_id: 00c1740be528640ae3c52c38d57b9a80
entity_id: d8cfff194adda0f1c6136540494770bf
domain: binary_sensor
condition: []
action:
- device_id: 4f65b2f80764b593044b325818415be2
domain: cover
entity_id: 2c8e30727104c3197a8472ee6ba7163b
type: set_position
position: 50
mode: single
Therefore, I checked in the event listener and I do get the following event when pressing the remote control:
event_type: zha_event
data:
device_ieee: 20:91:8a:00:00:19:69:9b
unique_id: 20:91:8a:00:00:19:69:9b:2:0x0102
device_id: 00c1740be528640ae3c52c38d57b9a80
endpoint_id: 2
cluster_id: 258
command: up_open
args: []
params: {}
origin: LOCAL
time_fired: "2023-11-04T20:04:39.657973+00:00"
context:
id: 01HEDZ00K9G9A519Y290JRWPQG
parent_id: null
user_id: null
So do you have an idea why is my automation not working?
Should I manually edit the yaml with a specific setting?
Thanks a lot for your help!
