Hi there,
Apologies if this is obvious or has been asked before (I did have a quick search!). I have a mysensors node with a keypad which I want to use to toggle various lights, turn on my alarm, fire scripts etc. I have registered an 'S_INFO' sensor and I'm able to send the a V_TEXT (single char) through to homeassistant no problem.
I am wondering if it's possible for homeassistant to treat these incoming messages as events rather than as possible state changes. Otherwise, without some internal hackery, I can't register repeated presses of the same button. So if I want key 2 to toggle a light, for example, I can't toggle it on then off without pressing another button to change the sensor state.
The solution I've opted for at the moment is that, whenever the sensor state is changed, I have a routine which changes the state back to something invalid (0). This way every key press is firing a 'state change', but it can be a bit buggy if the buttons are pressed in quick succession.
Thanks in advance for your help.
