ok I use this for the lights → Z2M Ikea Tradfri Dimmer Switch on off and dimming and it works with all E1734 buttons I have
teh Z2M entity of the buttons works and all shoot events when pressed so this is not the issue (as a test I swapped some buttons between the automations and this one for the covers never triggers)
anyhow below the screen that proofs buttons works and reacts:
I will try your suggestion to remove automation and blueprint and try to start from scratch; will let you know later
no progress here, I feel very dumb but it’s first time I’m lost with HA automation
