I may not have explained myself clearly.
Using the trigger, as soon as an action is performed on the button:
1st step, I retrieve its value:
2nd step, I want to send the previous value to an MQTT device:
But the value must be numeric — it’s impossible to use the variable…
If that works, I can create a single scene regardless of the button’s value.
If I’m forced to enter a numeric value, I have to create one scene per value; for this example, that makes 3 scenes…
Each scene uses a specific number in the trigger and sends the same value to the device.
