Aqara/Xiaomi Button Multi-Action Blueprint for Home Assistant

Overview

This blueprint allows you to create automations in Home Assistant that react to single, double, or hold actions of an Aqara/Xiaomi button. Specifically, it toggles associated input_boolean entities based on the last_action attribute of the button.

Compatible Devices

  • Aqara Motion Sensor P1 (Tested)

Features

  • Toggle an input_boolean when an Aqara/Xiaomi button is single-pressed.
  • Toggle a different input_boolean when the button is double-pressed.
  • Toggle yet another input_boolean when the button is held.

Known Issues

Last Action Attribute

If the last_action attribute doesn’t change (for example, from “single” to something else), the state of the binary_sensor won’t change. Consequently, the trigger for the automation won’t fire again. This is a limitation that we are aware of, and we welcome any ideas or contributions to improve this behavior.
