We will need more information to be able to help. You want to make an automation in HA to process the 12 possible incoming events? What are these events, and what do you want the automation to do?

Or are you asking for help with ESPHome?

More ask for help in Home assistant. Maby is wrong forum…

All 12 events config in esphome device as

          - homeassistant.event:
              event: esphome.button_pressed
              data:
                title: buttonXshortclick 
<..>
                title: buttonXlongclick 
<..>
               title: buttonXdoubleclick

*4

All buttonXshortclick shall only toggle different lights.
All buttonXdoubleclick shall trigger different scrips
All buttonXlongclick shall start dim on different lights, 10% down…

You’re in the right forum: just wanted to check.

Starting with 12 automations would be easiest. Then we can consider combining them depending on complexity. Here’s the first:

trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: esphome.button_pressed
    event_data:
      title: button1shortclick
action:
  - service: light.toggle
    entity_id: light.YOUR_LIGHT_ENTITY

Alternatively, you can combine the simple toggle ones — this uses the trigger ID to specify the light to be toggled for each button (just showing two for now):

trigger:
  - platform: event
    id: my_light_1
    event_type: esphome.button_pressed
    event_data:
      title: button1shortclick
  - platform: event
    id: my_light_2
    event_type: esphome.button_pressed
    event_data:
      title: button2shortclick
action:
  - service: light.toggle
    entity_id: light.{{ trigger.id }}
