I may not be thinking of this right; while I wait for Zwave scene support, I’d like to make a page in my interface of buttons which will be used to trigger automations.
I.e. click a button on ‘scenes’ view (group) labeled “dinner time”; that would trigger an automation that turns on dining room lights, dims the kitchen lights, kicks on the sonos with a specific station, etc.
I would make this a script, you can add a script the front end and there is a activate “button” to press when you want it to run.
If you already have the automation written, scripts follow the same formatting so you can just move it over to your scripts section.
Other options are to have a input boolean or input select that your automation monitors the state of, when you change the state it activates your automation.
I had a similar question. I’m trying to use input booleans to give me a button on home assistant that starts an automation. Can you see any problems with doing that instead of a script?
I just got my automation setup using input booleans and realized I don’t like the switch, I just want a button. I’m trying to lock my car doors. I haven’t found any documentation for buttons…could you point me in the right direction?
@Cade_Dopp Did you ever found a solution for this? I’m also looking for a button input. In short; I want to use some buttons to control move a camera (up, down, left and right) by calling specific URL’s.
