Hi all
I am trying to setup a very simple automation which should trigger on a button push of a Friends Of Hue switch. For the integration of the switch, I use the “Hue sensor advanced” integration from HACS, however I don’t think my issue is related to that integration.
I can observe the event which I’m trying to listen to in the event listener, it looks as follows:
{
"event_type": "state_changed",
"data": {
"entity_id": "remote.schalter",
"old_state": {
"entity_id": "remote.schalter",
"state": "left_upper_release",
"attributes": {
"last_updated": [
"2020-02-23",
"20:12:20"
],
"last_button_event": "left_upper_release",
"friendly_name": "Schalter",
"icon": "mdi:light-switch",
"supported_features": 0
},
"last_changed": "2020-02-23T20:12:20.079984+00:00",
"last_updated": "2020-02-23T20:12:20.079984+00:00",
"context": {
"id": "45bc2685c7274f14a9c00ec131cf3f54",
"parent_id": null,
"user_id": null
}
},
"new_state": {
"entity_id": "remote.schalter",
"state": "left_upper_release",
"attributes": {
"last_updated": [
"2020-02-24",
"15:11:30"
],
"last_button_event": "left_upper_release",
"friendly_name": "Schalter",
"icon": "mdi:light-switch",
"supported_features": 0
},
"last_changed": "2020-02-24T15:11:30.057561+00:00",
"last_updated": "2020-02-24T15:11:30.057561+00:00",
"context": {
"id": "2cf27fb6365345fd8f8bf0389984cd1c",
"parent_id": null,
"user_id": null
}
}
},
"origin": "LOCAL",
"time_fired": "2020-02-24T15:11:30.057649+00:00",
"context": {
"id": "2cf27fb6365345fd8f8bf0389984cd1c",
"parent_id": null,
"user_id": null
}
}
I prepared the following trigger section of the automation, however it doesn’t trigger at all:
platform: event
event_type: state_changed
event_data:
entity_id: remote.schalter
new_state:
state: left_upper_release
The following simplified version of the trigger behaves as expected; it triggers on all state changes of the switch:
platform: event
event_type: state_changed
event_data:
entity_id: remote.schalter
I feel like I I’m missing out on a basic concept of the trigger structure. In general, how can I generate a YAML automation from the output of the event log?
