Hello, I wanted to know if it is possible to modify the value of a Zigbee connected object. The idea is as follows: I made a small monitoring system that only activates if I press a Xiaomi button (multiple possibilities, 1 click, 2 clicks, …). But I would like to be able to activate it (value to 1) or deactivate it (value to 2) remotely (via an SSH connection to run the command) because I can forget to activate or deactivate it if someone comes in my absence. My scenes depend on the state of this button. No problem with fake MQTT buttons but I don’t see how to do it here. It’s a shame that this is not provided from the dashboard, we could have a modifiable numerical input in the way of switches. Thank you. ---

Hello! I’m reading your post-vacation message 🙂 Why don’t you create a scene that triggers either with the real button or with your MQTT virtual button? (You can put 2 triggers in your scene) What’s the difference? 🙂 Otherwise, why not just manually launch the scene remotely?
