Hardware Buttons pressed=TRUE?

[kptkip]

Hi Folks,

can I get different information via MQTT about the relays being switched on/off either by software or the hardware buttons?

This isn't specifc to this berry driver, please see Tasmota documentation, the buttons are directly connected to the esp32/tasmota.

Thanks for the hint.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. to use button rules you have to set ButtonTopic 0.
But then the link between the button and the relay is cut.

But thanks for the hint on tasmota as the general source. I have to search a little bit furthermore.

This is true, you can set the relay state in your rule aswell. (But then you could also check the relay state in the first place without any rules)

I realize another problem:
The NSPanel has buttons no switches. So there is only a momentary state of button pressed and no continuous one. This could also lead to problems.
The only solution could be persisting this information on the smarthome system (in my case ioBroker) and calculate there further logic.

You can toggle the state of the relay with rules and also use variables in rules.
