Event based Automation not working, why?

Configuration
1

Hi,
I have this weird problem.

This does not trigger automation (event fired from the custom component)
2017-07-30 22:15:10 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event dcz_event[L]: id=1, button=1002>
and this triggers (made locally with the HASS UI in events)
2017-07-30 22:15:15 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event dcz_event[R]: id=1, button=1002>

what could the reason be to this ?

Here is the automation :

- alias: "Trigger based on event"
  initial_state: true
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: dcz_event
    event_data:
      id: "1"
      button: "1002"
  action:
    service: notify.notify
    data:
      message: An event from dcz

When i fire manually within the UI i used this payload :

event_type: dcz_event
event data: {“id”:“1”,“button”:“1002”}

and it makes the above log in the log and the automation works.

Very weird, i must be missing something.

I solved my problem, it seems automations does not work on Local events but only remote so i have changed the way i generate the event to use Remote and everything works now.

Do you mind sharing your config on how were able to solve the problem by using remote event?
