feature request: report source of last operation

[balk77]

Hi, it would be nice to know what the source is off the last operation. Did it come from HA or did someone press the original button on the wall? I would like to have this to override the HA controlled speed and for that I would like to have a switch. Is that possible?

The 'HA or not-HA' is something that can easily be build by adding a virtual switch to flip - detecting which wall-remote was pressed I'm not sure about :)
About the doable part, we could add/modify the behaviour of the esp to 'flip' a virtual switch (and/or input_binary) named 'last action by?' where 0 indicates HA and 1 indicates ESP - to indicate who changed it last time around? Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, that would fullfil my needs :)
It does not matter which remote has been used. Would this work?

Yeah that should work, i'll try to find some playing time coming weeks.
