No "PRESS_SHORT" in Homematic

Configuration
1

I am running Home Assistant and RaspberryMatic with 4 relatively old Homematic devices (2x HM-LC-Sw1-Pl-2 and 2x HM-LC-Sw1PBU-FM). The devices all work but I don’t get any “PRESS_SHORT” events in Home Assistant. I only get entries like this in the debug.

I already searched the forum but I did not find any relevant similar problem.

The HM-LC-Sw1PBU-FM doesn’t have any buttons for which you could listen for those kinds of events. And I believe the button on the HM-LC-Sw1-Pl-2 only toggles the state. So you just monitor the STATE in both cases.

Understood. Thanks a lot!
