Configuration Zigbee

Looking at the above link, action appears to be supported.

Zigbee2MQTT is able to view the button’s actions, Home Assistant is not.

Just to be sure, I restarted Home Assistant.
I researched Reddit and this forum; I did not find anyone else having this issue or posting that they have this issue. If I need to upload logs, please tell me where to go to get these logs.

I removed the device and re-added it.
Reconfigured/Reinterviewed.
The action is not showing.
I am using Zigbee2MQTT, not the Samsung SmartThings integration.
I do have SmartThings, but not using it and not even plugged in.
I wish not to use ST. If this button is not compatible with Home Assistant, I will simply return it to Amazon and get another Zigbee button.

Thanks!

How do you have z2m set up?

Are you using experimental events (recommended) or legacy actions?

See:

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/configuration/homeassistant.html#home-assistant-integration

Change one of these to true.

config/ziggbee2mqtt/configuration,yaml

    experimental_event_entities: false
    # Optional: Home Assistant legacy action sensor (default: `false`), when enabled:
    # - Zigbee2MQTT will send an empty 'action' after one has been send
    # - A 'sensor_action' will be discovered
    legacy_action_sensor: false

If using the new recommended event entity:

Well, I be damned. It worked. I used legacy_action_sensor.
Is this future proof or something that will hunt me later?

Thank you.

I actually changed it to:
experimental_event_entities: true
legacy_action_sensor: false

This is what you recommended, and it works.

Thank you again.

Yeah event entities are the way it should be done now, and honestly no more difficult to use than the legacy action entities.

Not sure when they are going to remove the “experimental” bit. That scares a lot of people off and it shouldn’t. It works.
