Three months ago, someone else asked the same question. It was answered here:
I changed my automations from using legacy sensor entities to the new event entities. It wasn’t difficult; I shared my observations in this post.

hi,
I am looking for some help with this xiaomi button. in the states it has the following:
I need an automation to toggle a sonoff switch with single press, but I can not make it.
I tried the following but it is not working. I need something in this format if possible (easier for me to understand) . I read at the top post that I shouldn’t use “to: single” but I don’t know ow to adjust the code
alias: Xiaomi Button Kitchen LED event
description: 'Toggle kitchen LED using Xiaomi button via event'
triggers:
- trigger: state
entity_id:
- event.xiaomi_button_action
to: single
# attribute: action
condition: []
actions:
- data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.sonoff_10009bd11e
action: switch.toggle
- delay:
seconds: 0.0
- data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.sonoff_1000a05283
action: switch.toggle
mode: single
just add a state condition that looks at the event_type attribute.

thanks. I think there will be a more elegant way but the following is working
- id: xiaomi_button_kitchen_led event
alias: Xiaomi Button Kitchen LED event
description: 'Toggle kitchen LED using Xiaomi button via event'
triggers:
- trigger: state
entity_id:
- event.xiaomi_button_action
# to: single
# attribute: action
condition: []
actions:
- choose:
- conditions:
- "{{trigger.to_state.attributes.event_type == 'single'}}"
sequence:
- data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.sonoff_10009bd11e
action: switch.toggle
- delay:
seconds: 0.05
- data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.sonoff_1000a05283
action: switch.toggle
mode: single
