Hi,

its not really an issue more an enhancement. I was trying myself but couldn't find a working solution. I want to start actions when a light is on and i press the on switch again, for example my bathroom lights are on I press the button again and the speaker starts. Also double click and so on would be possible. I was unable to add that for the binary_sensor could some help me out on that?

Is that even seen by HA? The double click is new in version 2.4.0 and captured by F@H if a custom scene is linked to the switch. I'm not sure if this is received by HA, since it isn't a state change of the rocker itself. Though the custom scene might change states for other entities.

You can make HA responding on a light switching on... that's an automation.

If you want a feature like this you could also start listening on the websocket available in the FAH API.

Switches are now more recognized in the component. Does this work for you?

kaisten commented 4 years ago

@miezie thank you for the effort. There is event isn't fired again so I cannot tigger anything

miezie commented 4 years ago

You should be able to listen on state changes of the light switches and then do your actions.

kaisten commented 4 years ago

after a while I tried again but there is no state change trigged anymore after the light is on

I found a way to make use of every press event. Just create a automation in free@home of that actor, this will be recognized as a scene in ha. When that scene will be triggered I can do some actions.
