Hi folks,
I have a switch that I bought with the Sonoff Zigbee bridge, The model on the box is SNZB-01. I have paired the device to the bridge using the ZHA interface. If I look at the list of devices, I am shown Device: Garden Switch, Manufacturer: eweLink, Model: WB01
The only entity shown is: Garden Switch power (which is 100%, as it is new).
How do I find out when the button is pressed?
Go to developer tools -> events, enter * under listen to events,hit start listening, and start pressing your button.
Thanks Francis,
I get a response of:
{
"event_type": "zha_event",
"data": {
"device_ieee": "00:12:4b:00:1f:8a:bb:08",
"unique_id": "00:12:4b:00:1f:8a:bb:08:1:0x0006",
"endpoint_id": 1,
"cluster_id": 6,
"command": "toggle",

},
"origin": "LOCAL",

"parent_id": null,
"user_id": null
}
I am not quite sure how I am supposed to build a trigger from that. Have you any ideas?
It took me a while to find out there is no entities associated with these (apart from the battery) as the button creates events.You need to monitor for the events to make use of the button.
If you use Node Red you can easily filter the button events.
Create a "Events all" node with the event type set as "zha_event".
Create a switch node (if you have more than one button) and set the property as "payload.event.unique_id" and put the unique_id from from your switch.
Create a switch node and set the property to "payoad.event.command" and set it to the command. This switch has toggle, on and off available for press, double press and long press.
Then create a call service node to do the action you want.
There is probably a fairly trivial way to use these events in home assistant directly, but I haven’t got that far yet.
Thanks Steve, I shall look into it
see this comment
@SteveM363 is right, an entity is not created for a button, because the button press itself is treated as an event.
I found that the best solution was to manage the button press events in NodeRed and I got the idea from jimford in this post:
Sonoff zigbee button SNZB-01 issue (only in cloud mode)?
And if you’re interested, here is a stripped back version of my NodeRed button management flow for my 8x SN-ZB01 buttons:

Hey guys, just thought I would share what I have done for this. I’m quite new still to everything, so my approach may not be the best, but it’s working for me! I haven’t made my way through the use of node red just yet, only been playing with it. I wanted to get this working with automations through HA directly for now. First off, thank you for the tip on the events! I didn’t know how get toggle command from the switch till I read this.
Anyways, looked up the event and captured the device_ieee below and just added that in the automations.
Then just set the device or whatever to toggle.
Hope this helps!
Chad
Thanks Chad
I ended up in the same place and got things moving.
Awesome! glad to have helped being a newbie here!
To add to Chad’s excellent info, to cater for the single click and longpress events in HA Automations, you can add the ‘command:’ data as well:
for the single click, and:
for the long press.
Hope this helps you even further!
Greetz, djawizha
In addition to those filters, you can also catch “double click” by filtering command:“on”.
To add to all the great people above, you can also find the ieee for the button you are trying to configure by going to Configuration --> Devices and open your button’s device info page.
Hey
Thanks for your help!
If you want, you can also add a double click 
Simple click
- platform: event
event_type: zha_event
event_data:
device_ieee: 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
command: toggle
Double click
- platform: event
event_type: zha_event
event_data:
device_ieee: 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
command: on
Long click
- platform: event
event_type: zha_event
event_data:
device_ieee: 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
command: off
I hope this will help you
one press is “toggle” doublepress is on and hold for 3 sec is off
device_ieee: '00:12:4b:00:1f:91:99:c5'
unique_id: '00:12:4b:00:1f:91:99:c5:1:0x0006'
device_id: 949b68fd1c6bffe9861bde128afd1825
endpoint_id: 1
cluster_id: 6
command: toggle
args: []
THANKS!!! i use that on event data with diferent commands and works!!!
Glad this has helped a few folks out there! I was going to come back and post about the 3 commands with the switch but it looks like that is taken care of too. Keep up the great work all!
i have the same issue, but connected with deconz. i created a automation like described an changed “zha_event” to “deconz_event”. but no success. the button has response in deconz overview. any idea?
my automation:
alias: Sonoff Button Toggle

I had the same issue as Arthur, I’m using conbee usb with deconz.
This worked for me.
Using the appropriate event number
1002 is single click
1004 is double click
1003 is 3 sec hold

Hi Everyone,
I am new to Home assistant and i cant seem to get this little switch to work. I am using the sonoff LAN integration. When i listen in to my devices and click the switch i get the below code:
"event_type": "state_changed",
"data": {
"entity_id": "sensor.sonoff_a480003d75",
"old_state": {

So on that information, i tried creating an automation with this code but no matter what i do or change i cant get it to trigger. I think its something stupid but i’ve ran out of ideas.

Your help guys would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael, I am also stuck at same place. Have you had any progress ?
