Third Reality Zigbee Button & MQTT

If you are using the latest version of Zigbee2MQTT (version 2.X) it no longer creates action sensors.

Here are your choices.

  1. You can re-enable the creation of action sensors in Zigbee2MQTT’s Settings → Home Assistant . This is not recommended because this feature will eventually be completely removed.

  2. Use a Device Trigger. This is the recommended replacement for action sensors.

  3. You can use event entities by enabling this option in Zigbee2MQTT’s Settings → Home Assistant. Then you can use a State Trigger to listen to an event entity. There’s a tutorial for it here. FWIW, this is what I chose to do.
