I would really like some help with automations

I posted recently but got no help, HA has decided that tasmota switches no longer send double and triple presses, but my MQTT server says otherwise.

I have a lot of automations based on those presses, and losing them for no apparent reason really hurts.

I asked in discord and was told “use events, devices are weird” but I don’t see any events when my devices double and triple press.

the MQTT server is seeing them, and sending them out, but HA is totally disregarding them.

two days ago, my automations worked, and today they don’t ad nothing changed here except a system rebooted,

please help or please show me where to look. I came to HA because I thought it would be reliable, and I am bemused that a reboot throws out all my automations,

I know there must be a simple explanation, and I’d be very appreciative if someone could help me here.

I will name my next born after you! :smiley:
