I'm trying to automate my dumb roomba. For this I ideally need a couple of buttons. I'm lost at how to add another button, that would have a different name and a different sent byte.
Additional question - to get info from the roomba (charging, battery, etc.) I need to send a similar byte series and then receive two unsigned bytes. I have no idea how to do that.

I cant test this, but should it be something like:
# Example button configuration
button:
- platform: template
name: Livingroom Lazy Mood 1
id: my_button
# Optional variables:
icon: "mdi:emoticon-outline"
on_press:
- logger.log: "Button 1 pressed"
- platform: template
name: Livingroom Lazy Mood 2
id: my_button2
# Optional variables:
icon: "mdi:emoticon-outline"
on_press:
- logger.log: "Button 2 pressed"
As for the other thing, that might be something you need to write your own driver for? if you need some inspiration, this repo has a driver for mitsubishi heatpumps, which does something similar (read/write to a uart): https://github.com/echavet/MitsubishiCN105ESPHome
Thank you! This worked perfectly. And thanks for the link, will look into that
