Custom power button action about ha-firemote HOT 1 CLOSED

Hello @CountParadox!

You'll be happy to know that the ability to do this is already included in the current version of Firemote!

In November of 2022, version 1.8.0 was released with new functionality which allows you to override any standard remote button with a Home Assistant script. A few months later, In March of this year, version 2.0.3 was released which added the ability to use the card's YAML config to send a custom service call without the need for a separate script! Both of these options are still included in the latest version of Firemote.

Full documentation for how this works can be found in the README.md file under the Button Overrides heading.

In your case, I would imagine that adding something like this to your Firemote card's YAML config would do the trick:

button_overrides:
  power-button:
    service: { CHANGE THIS TO THE APPROPRIATE NAME OF YOUR IR BLASTER SERVICE CALL }
    target:
      entity_id: { CHANGE THIS TO THE ENTITY ID OF YOUR IR BLASTER }
    data:
      { YOUR PROPERTY } : { YOUR VALUE }

I'm unable to properly guess the exact details of your situation since I don't have your IR blaster, so everything above in between the { BRACKETS } will need to be figured out by you.

Alternatively, you could always build a script that does what you need, and add something like this to your card's YAML config:

button_overrides:
  power-button:
    script: { THE NAME OF YOUR SCRIPT }

Hopefully this answers your questions. If not, please let me know and I'll be happy to help!
