Please Help With Home Assistant Automation

Switches General Discussion
#1

Hello. I’m have installed my Red Switches and they look sweet. I have a quick question about automating in Home Assistant. I mainly use the GUI interface and not YAML when I write automation.

Please help me pick the right parameters for this WHEN condition: When I double tap the top (or up) button…

The device name is light.loft_light

What do I select under the TRIGGER parameter? How about the VALUE Parameter? Please help.

If you use a device trigger, 002 is Up, and then you can select the number of key presses.

Great. That worked! What does 001 do? How about 003?

@rohan has a great blueprint for this. I’m on my phone so I don’t have a link, but it’s the way to go.

I really need to make this a thread separately to make it easier to find, but full details are here: Z-Wave 800 Series 2-1 Switch (On/Off & Dimmer) | Project Phoenix - #505 by rohan

Little late, but if you use the GUI often, I highly recommend Switch Manager for setting up switches and multi-press devices. Has Inovelli switches as an option.
