Provides a means to program a Lovelace button row to control any binary entity (lights, switches, input booleans, etc) that have the state as either on or off. This will also work for fans and dimmable lights that you would only ever like to switch on & off with a single speed or brightness setting (set outside the configuration for this plugin)
This plug-in was inspired by user @jazzyisj on the Home Assistant forum (community.home-assistant.io) as a thematically complementary plug-in for my fan control row & light brightness preset row.
Installation:
Copy the binary-control-button-row.js file to the appropriate folder in your Home Assistant Configuration directory (/config/www/).
Place the following in your "resources" section in your lovelace configuration (updating the localation to where you placed the above file):
- url: /local/binary-control-button-row.js
type: js
Then to use this in a card place the following in your entity card:
