How to link it with an entity ?

[cba42]

Hello,

I have added a switch as per the documentation.
However, I don't understand how to link this to an entity ?
Ultimate goal is to display a button on lovelace that would trigger this switch

Thanks for your help !

Hi.

The momentary switch is just a standard switch so you can use switch.turn_on with the tap_action. I haven't had chance to test this but something like this should work:

type: button
name: Test Momentary Switch
show_state: false
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: script.turn_on
  service_data:
    entity_id: switch.momentary_test

I have the same problem

I want to open my garage door without pressing my shelly switch (switch.shelly1) multiple times

I have created the momentary switch in the config.yaml
How do I link this momentary switch with the real switch.shelly1 entity

@twrecked I get that momentary switches are stand alone, but it would be awesome to have an optional config definition that allows us to specify an entity that the momentary switch will then control. This would save us creating automations in addition to momentary switches.

- platform: momentary
  name: Kids Bedroom Light
  mode: on
  toggle_for: 3600
  entity: light.kids_bedroom

@cba64 @jsnfwlr you can try this https://github.com/egorgam/hass-momentary

you can run call any entity like this:

  - platform: momentary
    name: Vacuum return to base
    mode: on
    toggle_for:
      milliseconds: 50
    cancellable: False
    turn_on:
      service: vacuum.return_to_base
      entity_id: vacuum.robot_pylesos

Hello,

I have also performed the installation according to the instructions and also do not get any error messages when checking the configuration.
But unfortunately I can not find the switch I specified under the name.

Where should I find it?
What am I doing wrong and how can I use it to control a device (switch). In my case it is also the garage control switch, which only requires a pushbutton pulse.

I did it in this way. Where could I find the "MomTest" Switch in HA?

momentary:

switch:

• platform: momentary
  name: "MomTest"
  mode: "on"
  toggle_for: 1
  cancellable: True

Thanks and greetings
