Timeout between binary sensor (button) presses

I was wondering how I would configure a timeout or “dead zone” between button presses so my automations would not be called multiple times. I saw the filters delayed_on: options but I wasn’t sure if this was what I was looking for.

Thanks for such a great project and the help in advance.

It would be better if you used delayed_off.

This way there is no delay when the button is first pressed but the action can not occur again until the delay expires.

Hello @DiamondCocktail maybe this will help you further. Have a look at the “Automations” on_press, on_release, …
