*Single press Logs (works well):

The blueprint documents say that double press action is not exposed, and is virtual with a separate switch. In the Z2Mqtt docs for IKEA shortcut button i see a consistent description of "action":"off" on double press. Same "off" action i see in the Z2M logs upon Double Press, but automation does not do what it is supposed to do.

I see the blueprint describes the exposed actions except "off".
zigbee2mqtt: button_short: - "on" button_long: - brightness_move_up button_release: - brightness_stop button_short: '{{ actions_mapping[integration_id]["button_short"] }}' button_long: '{{ actions_mapping[integration_id]["button_long"] }}' button_release: '{{ actions_mapping[integration_id]["button_release"] }}'

To Reproduce

1. Create an Automation based on EPMatt E1812 blueprint.
2. Assign an Action to Double Press
3. Double Press the button.
4. See MQTT press log with "action":"off", see no automation actions.

Expected behavior

activate a scene on button double press.

Actual Behaviour

double press is seen in logs, no automation actions are fired.

same issue and more discussions HERE

[austwhite]

The discussion @drublin mentioned looks like it was more about an Ikea button and Z2M.
I have the same issue with ZHA and a Philips button. Double press not firing anything.

Will the work around in that discussion also work with ZHA and genuine Philips dimmer?

[drublin]

@austwhite , I used only this blueprint, for e1812 ikea button so i don't know about Phillips.

the case here is that button sent only the single-press event and the blueprint "calculates" if you get two single-presses. Later the button sent a separate payload for double-press and i updated the blueprint for that.
