Z2M 2.0: event entities & double/triple press actions?

Configuration
,
1

So I made the jump to z2m 2.0 and succeeded in transforming my automations.
1 thing though: I was using the hold, double and triple click actions.

With the event entities, this doesn’t seem to be possible ?yet?.
I do understand the decision to change the legacy features and I’m aware that I can still use those by checking that option in the z2m UI. (do they work simultaneously?)

What I would like to know (understand): is it possible that hold/double/triple press will be available in the future with the new approach?

I can see a ‘hold’ for my Hue buttons.

edit: but the ‘press’ shows first so that would trigger the ‘press’ automation. The only way round it would be to wait for the ‘hold’ but that would delay the ‘press’ from executing.

Hi, those should be exposed as the event type.

If I select the button’s event entity in the Developer tools; States, I see the following:

event_types:
  - single
  - double
  - long
event_type: single

And in my automation:

trigger: state
entity_id:
  - event.buttonxxxx_action
id: button action
...
...
condition: template
value_template: "{{trigger.to_state.attributes.event_type == 'double'}}"
alias: Double

The detail might differ with other devices, but DevTools should give guidance.

The ‘simple’ single push actions (event) are present/working, that’s why I wrote that I succeeded in getting my automations to work.

This is for an IKEA E1524/E1810

event_types: toggle, brightness_up_click, brightness_down_click, brightness_up_hold, brightness_up_release, brightness_down_hold, brightness_down_release, hold, arrow_left_click, arrow_left_hold, arrow_left_release, arrow_right_click, arrow_right_hold, arrow_right_release

Whereas before it was also possible to use long press, double and triple press.

For the Sonoff buttons I use, with those it is possible to use double click.

Don’t know how I missed that part, my bad. Hope someone else can help.
