Feature request: External button support

Open wormiedk opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

It would be great to be able to add push buttons that would either

  • launch a specific scene
  • generate an mqtt message (e.g doorbell)

Hi @wormiedk, request makes sense and is reasonable. That being said, does seem like it's the sort of thing that's susceptible to feature creep.

What does "specific scene" here mean?

@sidoh I have a use case for this. I have a cool white strip across the top of the garage controlled using a single colour Mi-Light controller.

This comes on with a time clock so is on between dusk and dawn. I would like for it to have a high-low feature. Low brightness under usual circumstances. When the garage door is triggered, I would like to use a voltage free contact to trigger the ESPMLH to turn the brightness up to full, then after a minute or so turn back down to the lower brightness.

Is the only current way to do this via MQTT?
