Local connection with button

[jujupointcom]

Hi,
Using the spurl option instead of api key, to go though local connection does not work for controls of type "button". Using a switch type command on the same device works fine.
Code to handle button has been copied from the switch one, so I do not understand where is the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
It's quite an old issue, but it still exists. Same problem here.

Problem solved by adding the following lines in bold to the device configuration in the yaml file exported from Airsend Cloud (thanks to Devmel support for this tip) :

id: xxx
note:
  method: 1
  type: 1
  value: 2

I also applied the following action on the card driving my device :

tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: button.press
  target:
    entity_id: button.my_button_entity
  data: {}

Hope it might help someone

I tried this but didn't get it to work.

But are you suggesting the button code should be changed from

    def press(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
        """Handle the button press."""
        note = {"method": 1, "type": 0, "value": "TOGGLE"}
        if self._device.transfer(note, self.entity_id) == True:
            self.schedule_update_ha_state()

to

    def press(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
        """Handle the button press."""
        note = {"method": 1, "type": 1, "value": 2}
        if self._device.transfer(note, self.entity_id) == True:
            self.schedule_update_ha_state()

I didn't change the button code and don't think you have to.
If I understand well the code in device.py file, lines 189 to 200, the notes added in yaml file will override the ones in the button code, with the same result as the code change you suggest.
When I submitted them my problem, Devmel support told me that "value" set to 2 in these additionnal notes in yaml file may not work, and in this case I could try to set "value" to 1, 4 or 8. Maybe you can give it a try.
If it still doesn't work I suggest you to open a ticket to Devmel support. They answer quickly and will probably have the solution for your issue.
