I’m very new to ESPHome and YAML. I have a switch that I want to use to controll my light. I already created the basic configuration and it works.
Now I would like to add the ability to change brightness with doube click. It should work like this: If the light has more then 50% brightness, then dimm it to 10%, if it has less then 50%, set full brightness. So basically the doubleclick should toggle between 100% and 10%.
To do this, I need to create a condition based on the current brightness of the light. I need to get this value form HA end use it in ESPHome. I know hot to set the brigtness, but I can not figure out, how to get it and use it in a condition.
This would be an automation of course, and instead of doing it in a condition to check for the value as it is a little clunky for your use case - have as the trigger a double-click, no condition, and then for the action use if-then-else (which can also be nested) and you can have all of the logic there.

If the light was in esphome I would try with
id(my_light).current_values.get_brightness()
but no idea how you deal with HA light.
What about creating a sensor in HA to present brightness?
