Random

This provides a basic on/off style switch that will select a random number between 1 and the configured maximum value. It is design to help you select a random property by using automation (for example, select a random scene every time the switch is turned on).

Appearance

You will get a switch and a Value property.

Configuration

{
   "platforms": [
      {
         "platform":"AutomationSwitches",
         "switches": [
            {
               "type": "random",
               "name": "Random",
               "max": 15
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}

Options

Field Required Description
type Yes Set this to random to make this entry a random selector.
name Yes Set this to the name of the switch as you want it to appear in HomeKit apps.
max Yes The maximum number to be selected randomly

Usage

This switch is really useful to trigger random scene. Create an automation that watches for changes in the switch state. When the state changes (e.g. turned on/off), use the Value field as condition for your automation. Turn on the switch and the automation matching the Value will activate.
