Using action: sevice brakes color customizing

[radinsky]

When using 'action: service' the "color" (color on) parameter is not working

@radinsky Can you show me your config? Thanks

sure,
This one is working with action to trigger my scene (but the color off is not working):

          - type: "custom:button-card"
            action: service
            service:
              domain: scene
              action: turn_on
              data:
                entity_id: scene.kitchen_entry_off
            icon: mdi:lightbulb
            color: auto
            color_type: card
            default_color: "#997701"
            color_off: "#555555"
            name: Off
            style:
              - font-size: 12px
              - font-weight: bold
              - text-transform: none

The button trigger the scene but has a wrong color:

This one with removed "action" section:

          - type: "custom:button-card"
            entity: scene.kitchen_entry_off
            icon: mdi:lightbulb
            color: auto
            color_type: card
            default_color: "#997701"
            color_off: "#555555"
            name: Off
            style:
              - font-size: 12px
              - font-weight: bold
              - text-transform: none

it makes this button with correct color (but the scene is not triggering):

You do not have an entity on the first one. So color: auto doesn't know which color to pick.
You'll need an entity with a color attribute for color: auto to work.

Also for color_off to work, the entity needs to have an off state. So a scene might not have that.

I'd advise using my new state attribute to do what you want to do. You'll need to set the entity to the scene so that you can use the different attributes.

I don't recall if a scene entity has a color attribute, if it does, you can use color: auto so that you don't have to specify the color.

                state:
                  - value: 'scening'
                    color: "#997701"

This is just an example off the top of my head, I don't have hass available to try this right now.

Ok, adding the "entity" to the first one is solving the issue. Thanks!

          - type: "custom:button-card"
            entity: scene.kitchen_entry_off #for the auto color
            action: service
            service:
              domain: scene
              action: turn_on
              data:
                entity_id: scene.kitchen_entry_off
            icon: mdi:lightbulb
            color: auto
            color_type: card
            default_color: "#997701"
            color_off: "#555555"
            name: Off
            style:
              - font-size: 12px
              - font-weight: bold
              - text-transform: none
