My log of Zigbee2MQTT

info MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/3-button remote', payload '{"action":"1_single","linkquality":21}'
info MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/3-button remote', payload '{"action":"","linkquality":21}'
info MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/3-button remote/action', payload '1_single'

My automation:

- id: '1613205616972'
  alias: Zigbee remote
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    payload: '{"action":"1_single","linkquality":**}'
    topic: zigbee2mqtt/3-button remote
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: light.toggle
    data: {}
    entity_id: light.bulbs.kitchen
  mode: single

As I’m not sure about the correct payload and topic syntax I tried many combinations but none of them works:
payload: '{“action”:“1_single”,“linkquality”:}’
payload: {“action”:“1_single”,“linkquality”:}
payload: “action”:“1_single”
payload: 1_single

topic: zigbee2mqtt/3-button remote
topic: 3-button remote
topic: 0x5c0272fffeda7232
0x5c0272fffeda7232 = IEEE address found in Zigbee2MQTT

The automation action is checked and works fine.
After every change I reloaded the automations under server control.

Can you see why this doesn’t work?

If you use an mqtt trigger, you need the exact payload, so only

'{"action":"1_single","linkquality":21}'

would work.

Try listening to

zigbee2mqtt/3-button remote/action

Thanks for your reply!
The linkquality changes with each trigger. Can I use a wildcard?

May my automation be like:

- id: '1613205616972'
  alias: Zigbee remote
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    payload: '{"action":"1_single","linkquality":**}'
    topic: zigbee2mqtt/3-button remote/action
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: light.toggle
    data: {}
    entity_id: light.bulbs.kitchen
  mode: single

Since you listen to this :

Payload needs to be

 '1_single'

THANKS! It works. This ‘combi’ I hadn’t tried.
