Smart automation with Namron 4ch switch

If you have a 4-channel Namron switch, it is unnecessary to make 4-8 automation to use all the buttons. In Home Assistant, it actually holds with just one automation.

Note – this example uses a Namron Zigbee switch. It is integrated with the use of Zigbee2MQTT.

As usual, we need to define what is the trigger in the automation. The trick here is to define 8 triggers in the automation, and each trigger gets a trigger ID. Each button becomes a trigger, and then you insert a unique trigger ID for each button.

The next thing we need to do is choose which “action” each switch should perform. What is important now is that we set the action type to “Choice”. Then we get the opportunity to enter a condition for each action.
The condition will then trigger ID, and action becomes, e.g., turning the light on / off.

The following example uses the buttons to turn on / off lights in four different rooms.
