LocalDeck - Quick Questions Megathread

Haha, will do!
I assure you it makes a lot more sense when you've got a deck in your hands!

To be fair, it's written in a way where you can drop an empty .yaml file into the esphome directory and play with that.
We'll probably add a new button to the addon to make testing a little easier!

jane_t Is there any way to add images other than the ones listed

At the moment, no. And this isn't likely to change soon.
We've designed the configurator so the entire configuration can fit into a URL, as this is how the addon loads your previous changes.
Additionally, it allows those not using the addon to click a link within their yaml to edit
Eg: Preconfigured LocalDeck

jane_t I presume if I want to use double press etc, I need to do this in the yaml directly? Do you have any examples?

We'll release the full docs soon, but we emit events for single and double by default.
For example, I have the following triggers in an automation for my deck.

alias: LocalDeck Bindings
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: esphome.localdeck_button
    id: skip
    event_data:
      device_id: fd6d95da38dce4a8e0f0de63c97ef1a1
      button: "14"
      type: single
  - platform: event
    event_type: esphome.localdeck_button
    id: skip-previous
    event_data:
      device_id: fd6d95da38dce4a8e0f0de63c97ef1a1
      button: "14"
      type: double
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - skip
        sequence:
          - service: media_player.media_next_track
            target:
              entity_id: media_player.office_display
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - skip-previous
        sequence:
          - service: media_player.media_previous_track
            target:
              entity_id:
                - media_player.office_display

jane_t P.S I know you said you are making a button light flash are you doing that in ESPHome or in an Automation?

At the moment, we expose a bunch of light entities, e.g., light.localdeck_9751cc_button_07_light, which allows you to control each pixel.
For flashing, I'm just running a loop to turn it on and off with an appropriate delay.

That said, we're looking to add a few of the built-in light effects, which will mean you can trigger flashing as easily as calling light.turn_on with the appropriate effect parameter.

Handling double-press and light effects will be detailed in an advance-usage post/video!

jane_t Sorry for all the questions I am quite new to ESPHome.

Please don't apologise! It's what we're here for!
(I'll also take any opportunity to info-dump :p)
