Triggering HA button entities from a dashboard

Archive HADashboard

The Roborock vacuum integration creates a few button entities which are used to trigger cleaning. I’ve used the switch dashboard widgets to get them to show up on my dashboard, but clicking on them doesn’t seem to actually do anything. Is there a step I’m missing?

Here’s the config in the dashboard:

vacStrength:
    widget_type: switch
    entity: button.roborock_qrevo_curvx_vac_strength
    title: Vac Strength
    momentary: 1000

I don’t use HADashboard (so I may be way off base), but from the docs it looks like the switch widget only targets entities in the switch domain. Since there are no widgets for button entities, you may need to create individual sequences to perform each button.press action so you can use sequence widgets.

That’s a great suggestion for a workaround, thanks!
