Im trying to make a card that counts the days since last watering my plants, ive made the card and the counter and that works, ive also made a reset function for at for when i push it the counter resets. My problem is when i push the card the state for the reset action changes to on instead of off and then i cant push it again, so i need some help for it to go back to off when it's been activated.

seems like you want a button
stoic elbow
I have the button but when i press it the reset function stays at on so i cant press it again when i need to reset it again
ive made it with help from chatgpt so i have no clue if its the wrong way im doing it
stoic elbow
yeah but could a make a new automation for the reset functon to resets itself after its been activated ?
wispy wren
what you're doing seems too complicated
use a button to call a script to do what you want, rather than using the input_boolean
it's unnecessary and is causing this problem

That automation triggers on turn on of
- entity_id: input_boolean.reset_vanding
The first action should be to turn that off...
Then
when i press it the reset function stays at on so i cant press it again when i need to reset it again
won''t happen

@chrome island oh i will try that thx
wispy wren
still, I submit that alias: Nulstil tæller ved vanding should be a script and not an automation, and that you just call the script from teh button card
and get rid of the input_boolean completely
but do what you and ChatGPT feel most comfortable doing

Agree with that, but this was easier to explain and I didn't want to upset out AI overlords.
