Automation on Aqara click

Configuration
1

Hi,

I tried to set up an automation routine triggered by a button click but it didn’t succeed using the event platform.

I was able to make it work with a mqtt paltform trigger.

Bellow is my YAML for both automations:

  - id: lighttoggleexample
    alias: Lamp toggle on and off - MQTT payload
    trigger:
    - platform: mqtt
      topic: zigbee2mqtt/0x00158d0001a66a8f
    condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: '{{ "single" == trigger.payload_json.click }}'
    action:
    - data:
        entity_id: switch.0x7cb03eaa0a01a62f_switch
      service: switch.toggle
      
  - id: alex_switch
    alias: "Ryan's Office External Light Switch"
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: click
      event_data:
        entity_id: sensor.0x00158d0001a66a8f_click
        click_type: single
    action:
    - data:
        entity_id: switch.0x7cb03eaa0a01a62f_switch
      service: switch.toggle

If I fire an event of type click with the json data {"entity_id": "sensor.0x00158d0001a66a8f_click", "click_type": "single"} the automation “Ryan’s Office External Light Switch” is fired.

Why isn’t the trigger platform event working?

The event type should be xiaomi_aqara.click
