Automation condition for physical switch press

[Jon123 (Jon)]

I’m having a hard time finding info on this…
I’d like to set an automation up to run only if triggered by the physical switch.

For example:
Trigger: Switch On
Condition: “it wasn’t done by home assistant or another automation” OR “it WAS done by the physical device”

The specific switch I’m looking at is an inovelli NZW31 (black), using ozw beta (so it’s using MQTT). Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks!

@anon43302295 Thanks! I was hoping there was another way to accomplish it. I thought there was data provided by the trigger/event that could be checked in a template to see how the automation initiated.
