requesting Push Button as device type

[axkman]

Hi!

I'm using a "Power off PC" routine, to turn off my PC and/or to get my Jetso Orin to sleep.
But now the only way to do it is thru a switch, which is a bit annoying to do it that way since the switch has 2 states, and most of the time the PC is turned of or the Jetson Orin is turned to sleep before it can return a state to sinric-pro servers so the button shows as "on".
Which is a bit weird anyway to have a on/off button to issue a "power off pc" command.

A push button would be more diserable to issue one shot commands.

Thereby, I, a noble knight of the sinric-pro realms, officially request a push button device class for sinric-pro. :-)

Thanks!

Hi @axkman

This is already exists, catch is you have to use a custom device type to do this.

1. Goto Device Templates in SinricPro Portal
2. Create a custom device type, Enter name and description
3. Drag and Drop "Smart Button"

4. Save and then create a device using this type. You should be able to turn the device on/off using push button.

There are too many device types in the world can't add all of them to the Device Type drop-down.

There's a tutorial here
