How do I make a slider button respond to tap_action?

[jlogo99]

Goal

In my home setup, I have a light that behaves like a light when I address it as a light, but then it's also part of switch and I want to it to behave as a simple on/off switch when I address it that way.

So, in my code below, I have the button, slider defined to use the light entity. However, my tap_action then triggers the switch entity. My objective is to be able to use the slider to brighten/dim the light and simply tap the button (either the icon OR the slider itself) to trigger switch entity to turn the light completely on/off.

What's happening is that the slider function works find. Tapping the icon works fine. But tapping the slider (when the light is off for example) turns the light on to whatever brightness level you tapped at, but it does not trigger the switch entity. I thought "tap_action" would apply to tapping the slider bar....but it only appears to work for tapping the icon.

Is there no separate definable treatment for tapping the slider??

Hi! You just need to remove tap_to_slide: true, this is the old slider mode and this one doesn't support tap action 🙂
