Public Member Functions
void	press ()
	Press this button.

template<typename F >
void	add_on_press_callback (F &&callback)
	Set callback for state changes.

	ESPDEPRECATED ("Use get_name_to() or get_log_name() instead. Will be removed in ESPHome 2027.5.0", "2026.11.0") const StringRef &get_name() const
	The name is in flash here; the first call makes a RAM copy that is kept for the life of the device.

StringRef	get_name_to (std::span< char, ENTITY_NAME_BUF_SIZE > buffer) const
	Get the name of this Entity, copied out of flash into buffer.

bool	name_equals (const StringRef &other) const

const ProgmemStringRef &	get_name_progmem () const
	The name as stored, for consumers that read flash themselves (e.g. API progmem fields).

size_t	write_name_to (char *buf, size_t buf_size) const
	Copy the name into buf (null terminated), returns its length.

uint32_t	get_object_id_hash () const

StringRef	get_object_id_to (std::span< char, OBJECT_ID_MAX_LEN > buf) const
	Get object_id with zero heap allocation For static case: returns StringRef to internal storage (buffer unused) For dynamic case: formats into buffer and returns StringRef to buffer.

size_t	write_object_id_to (char *buf, size_t buf_size) const
	Write object_id directly to buffer, returns length written (excluding null) Useful for building compound strings without intermediate buffer.

	The icon as stored (in flash on ESP8266), for consumers that read flash themselves.

	Get a unique hash for storing preferences/settings for this entity.

template<typename T >
ESPPreferenceObject	make_entity_preference (uint32_t version=0)
	Create a preference object for storing this entity's state/settings.

template<typename T >
ESPPreferenceObject	make_entity_preference (uint32_t version, bool in_flash)
	As make_entity_preference(), stored in flash or RTC memory where the backend supports the choice.

Protected Member Functions

void	configure_entity_ (const char *name, uint32_t object_id_hash, uint32_t entity_fields)
	Combined entity setup from codegen: set name, object_id hash, entity string indices, and flags.

void	set_device_ (Device *device)

ESPPreferenceObject	make_entity_preference_ (size_t size, uint32_t version)
	Non-template helpers for make_entity_preference() to avoid code bloat.

ESPPreferenceObject	make_entity_preference_ (size_t size, uint32_t version, bool in_flash)

uint32_t	entity_preference_key_ (uint32_t version)
	Key for both helpers; preference hash migration goes here.

Detailed Description

Base class for all buttons.

A button is just a momentary switch that does not have a state, only a trigger.

Definition at line 25 of file button.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_on_press_callback()

template<typename F >

void esphome::button::Button::add_on_press_callback ( F && callback )

inline

Set callback for state changes.

Parameters

callback The void() callback.

Definition at line 37 of file button.h.

◆ press()

void esphome::button::Button::press ( )

Press this button.

This is called by the front-end.

For implementing buttons, please override press_action.

Definition at line 16 of file button.cpp.

◆ press_action()

virtual void esphome::button::Button::press_action ( )

protectedpure virtual

You should implement this virtual method if you want to create your own button.
