feature request: report source of last operation #3

Open balk77 opened 4 years ago

Hi, it would be nice to know what the source is off the last operation. Did it come from HA or did someone press the original button on the wall? I would like to have this to override the HA controlled speed and for that I would like to have a switch. Is that possible?

The 'HA or not-HA' is something that can easily be build by adding a virtual switch to flip - detecting which wall-remote was pressed I'm not sure about :) About the doable part, we could add/modify the behaviour of the esp to 'flip' a virtual switch (and/or input_binary) named 'last action by?' where 0 indicates HA and 1 indicates ESP - to indicate who changed it last time around? Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, that would fullfil my needs :) It does not matter which remote has been used. Would this work? https://esphome.io/components/binary_sensor/template.html

Yeah that should work, i'll try to find some playing time coming weeks.
