I have Sunricher switches with Friends of Hue functionality and am using Deconz to integrate them to hassio.
After adding them to/with deconz I can find them as devices in Hassio and add them as triggers in automations, but they do not trigger the automation. They do not show up as entities or under developer tools. I cannot, or do not know how to see if the signal from them is even registered.
How do I get them to work with automations or become entities?
With ZHA you have to use “event triggers” to catch the switch press. It is not shown as a entity.
In “developer tools”, “Events” I listen for “ZHA_event”, and it will show up. You then have to trigger the automation, based on the event created. Think it is the same for Deconz, but not sure.
It need to go in the “listen to” boks. The event above is you triggering a event, and not the switch. Maybe it is not called deconz_event"? The listernes are listed in the right side of the screen. Remember there will not be a “event” before you actually press a button.
Also look at the answer from Hellis81, if that works, it will be much easier.
when using the as devices to trigger the automations nothing happens.
I have tried resetting the entire thing to a backup as i messed up some stuff in my testing. Still no response in the automations when using the switch.
You are pasting a complete automation in a trigger section.
You need to go up to the top right corner and press the three dots then switch to yaml mode.
I’m confused wether you have a device for this remote or not.
Look in the devices of configuration and see if there is a device listed that could be this remote.
That seems correct.
The automation panel says there is an automation called test liked with this device and the automation you posted was called test.
Seems correct so far.
The only thing that could be the issue is the type and subtype.
Look in the GUI automation editor and see what options you have with this device.
Perhaps one of the other buttons work.
Are you editing the automation through GUI or file editor?
I am editing in GUI. it looks like this, with a couple more alternatives when scrolling down the list.
I have 2 switches and have tried changing which device is used to trigger the automation with no difference in the result, nothing happens no matter which switch i try to trigger it with.
