I’m doing my first steps in creating automations. I’d like to use the aqara mini switch for TV control (Vol +/- , Play/Pause) using its 3 events: single press, double press, long press.
The device is connected over matter and events are reliably recognized.
However my automation is not triggered on every event. It is triggered very unreliably. Any suggestions why that might be?

As to your issue, this is how I reliably use the same button using zigbee2mqtt:
