Hi All,

after spending alot of time and commenting in the following post link text I finally have a partial working solution. I appreciate if someone can advise what is wrong I am doing. I have one momentary switch on an amplifier and I would like to automate it. After I press a physcial button, it send status as "on" and if if i press the button again it should send off commands or vice versa. however, this is not happening. it only send on commands.

If I send on off commands from home assistant it shows in the log as off and on without an issue.

here is my code and logs.

@petewill Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am picking this after 2.5 years as this is what I would like to build. i have established my switch is connected to grounds and build a prototype successfully. However, my issue is the code as i am lacking in the software side and appreciate if @petewill or someone else can advise me.

Issue 1: when i press the button, it shows twice in the log and i can see the communicating successfully with the gateway.

Issue 2: when i send the command via mqtt it is not turning on the led.

Thanks for input in advance.

my code is as follows,

#define SKETCH_NAME "Oven Control"

Hi, per my attached log, i see this error in the log repeating after every 20 min? not sure what is wrong so i thought to reach out for the help. this is my first post and so far i am loving mysensors with no background of electronics.. thanks
