drop down select list with scenes for lights

[falkio8]

I am trying to add a sub button with a drop down list to select scenes for my Hue lights. Found this for a select card in the official documentation:

type: custom:bubble-card
card_type: select
name: Scene
entity: input_select.scenes
icon: mdi:brightness-4
show_state: true

I dont quite get it how to use it. Even if I manually create a helper input_select with the names of all relevant scenes by selecting the text in the drop down it doesnt trigger anything on its own. What I am overlooking here? I am aware that the example is not for a sub button but for a card itself but the logic behind it should be the same.

Hi! You need to create an automation for that, basically it's:

if input_select is "Your scene input" then trigger scene.

You need to do that for each values in you input select then it will works 🙂

There is no easier way for now.

Hope this help!

Ok thank you. Not the answer I wanted to hear :-)
But I was expecting something like this. Dang

Sorry! That's what I've done for my scenes as well, but once done, it works perfectly well 👌
