Let me know if you need anything from my side. I can have a look at reverse proxy with Nginix tomorrow, seems straight forward

Congrats again, Ronny 🥳  
Once I got the hang of the ‘compound’ device, it has so many possibilities. The media device is also cool.  
Findings:  
The dim ‘duration’ on my Tuya wifi lights doesn’t seem to work 🙃

Yeah, duration is something from the “old” app version I haven’t checked yet. I’m not sure, if it is transferred to HA and if it’s used in HA from the light integrations.

Hi @RonnyW, the new options that it’s possible to combine multiple identical identities types into one compound and name the entities yourself are great!  
Thanks a lot for this!

How can I add a light with dimming and color functionalities in the compound?

At the moment, only dim is added as capability in the Homey device.  
What’s yoour need to add this as compound? What do you want to combine?  
The compound is primary for grouping single sensors. A light you can add as device itself with all capabilities. So I’m curious about an example.

Edit: I must say that the dim capability was present in the old app version. It’s used as slider and not for dimming. Changing in Homey is calling the service input\_number set\_value.

Light entities have feature depending in the device itself (dim onoff, color, hue…). If you add a light, it will get the allowed capabilities.

**Test version 0.1.6** addes device type **“button”.**  
Entity of domain “input\_button” can be added as button now.

Wohoo…great addition.  
Is it also possible to add a “button pressed” event, so the button can be used in a flow with “If”?  
I have a Home Assistant Dasboard on a tablet. On that dasboard a button which has to activate some actions on the Homey.

Thanks for this great work

I have to check if it’s possible. HA sends entity (state) updates to Homey. It needs a state change for button to react on in Homey.

> Is it also possible to add a “button pressed” event, so the button can be used in a flow with “If”?

No, because it’s stateless.

but… you can create a sensor that triggers if the button is pressed:

add this template in your configuration.yaml

```auto
template:

  - trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_button.name_of_your_button
    binary_sensor:
      - name: Button is pressed
        auto_off: 5
        state: "true"

```

where “entity\_id” is your button name  
and “name” is the name of your sensor you will see that as a sensor in homey

now add a sensor in homey and you will see its there

offcourse now you can make flows if the sensor is triggerd

The button also has a state containing the last activity I think:  
 ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/0/30ca9748e77d6f8d46c0f05e9bba90d0ccbe6a3e.png)  
This could be used to recognize the button event.

**Test version 0.1.7** has a **new trigger card for button pressed** (when pressed in HA).  
Give it a try @Onno_Sloof @JB2K

Hi Ronny,  
This seems not to be working.  
I added a TestButton helper in HA. In a simple Homey flow I added the button pressed with the following action to make a notification in the timeline.  
When I press the button in HA, I got no message in my Homey timeline.

I think JB2K is right, but that also means I have to add a seperate extra device to HA.

In HA documentation they give an example like the one from JB2K:

Because the state of a input button entity in Home Assistant is a timestamp, it means we can use it in our automations. For example:

```auto
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_button.my_button
action:
  - service: notify.frenck
    data:
      message: "My button has been pressed!"

```

@Onno_Sloof  
For me it worked with the trigger for button presses in HA and Homey.

Pressed in HA.
