That looks like it should work.
Unfortunately not. It turns the coffee machine on, and one minute later turns it off again. Im trying to get the espresso maker to stay on, but the fingerbot somehow revert back to “off” without physically pushing the button again.. or else it be able to give the “on” command even if it’s turned off (I think that could work)
I think I see the problem. You may not need this automation. The FingerBot probably automatically resets after each activation. That is how my SwitchBot works.
EDIT: In you automation utilizing the FingerBot you my need to use Turn On or Off (toggle) instead of Turn On. Then the state of the switch in ST does not matter.
In my automation I am not seeing a toggle option. I only have 3 options- turn on, turn off, and turn on and off which will turn the device on and after a specified amount of time later it’ll turn off again
I believe the OP talks about what I’m trying to accomplish further up in the post, but I’m having a hard time understanding and implementing it
It’s Turn on or turn off, which is a toggle. If you don’t care about the state use that as action as suggested.
Regarding reverting the state of the device, you can’t given the explanations by Mariano.
Ah I see that option now when I build a new routine. I was looking at the generic ones that are already listed when you go into the routine page.
That’ll have to suffice, thanks for all your help!
