Toggle for fan light, rather than discrete on/off?

Wondering if we’re going to have access to a “toggle” for fan lights either in IFTT, and especially in SmartThings integration when it comes.

Reason I ask is I have an on/off toggle button in the Bond app (labeled “Light”) that turns my fan lights on/off, but there isn’t an on/off toggle available in IFTT (it provides discrete on and off switches). It would make it simpler to control fan lights from button devices like an Aeon Minimote if I can send an on/off toggle signal from a single button rather than having to send On from one button press and Off from a second button press or long press.

That’s a good idea, to have a “Toggle” action available. I can see how that would make life easier, especially for remotes with distinct on/off control signals. I’ll bring it up with the team.

A workaround for now is, you can just use the TurnLightOn action. Because your device has a single control signal for “toggle”, both the TurnLightOn and TurnLightOff actions in IFTTT both send the same control signal.

Great, thanks for the info, and for considering adding the toggle switch - very useful for me at least. :slight_smile:

I’ll try out sending On twice in a row and confirm.

Yup - works perfectly - I have my “toggle.” :slight_smile:

Can someone tell me how to make an applet to show if bond light or fan is on in SmartThings?
