Wow, I didn’t know that the previous version (WXKG11LM) had all this button press functionality.
I remember that when researching for it, most of the time I was reading for the single, double and long press abilities and I thought that getting the WXKG12LM was a better deal (with the added shake function).
Seems I was wrong and someone in this post from the HA community was indeed reporting the single, double, triple and quadruple functions (although via zigbee2mqqt but I don’t think that matters). Others of course reported the other functions (single, double and long)
So from what it seems the WXKG11LM button is like a jackpot?
The shake function on the WXKG12LM is nice, but i like my WXKG11LM hehe
But the remotes i like the most are:
The rounded ones (WXKG01LM), which support single/double/triple/quad/multiple/hold;
The WXKG07LM and similar (there are versions with different number of buttons), which support single/double/hold on each button, and even combined (single press on both buttons, double, and hold on both), and they look great, feel great and have great pricing hehe
From what it seems the 1st version of the Xiaomi buttons (WXKG01LM) are the best in terms of functionality. I could try and get the WXKG11LM but it seems that finding the ones that support the triple and quadruple presses is a bit hard.
The Aqara D1 (WXKG07LM) buttons indeed look great, I couldn’t resist and ordered a couple from AliExpress (as cheap as 12 Euros each!) to test them.
Might be worth pointing out that the model number printed on the switch is identical, even though the internal identification code is different (I have the b1acn01 version, and it’s still labelled as a WXKG11LM on the device)
I am super new here. I am also super frustrated just trying to get this aqara mini switch to work. I am using the BETA Matter add-on and now a Zigbee dongle, so I am curious if that is why this method isn’t working.
I also tried to add an event automation, but for some reason, I do not see an event log what I try to listen to events on zha_event. Again, maybe this is just because I am using Matter. I see Dennis also asked the question, but just looking for some help. I’m a total newb, so I’m sure it is something I am just not understanding correctly, or doing correctly. Thanks!
I’ve got it working with Matter with the Aqara hub doing the Matter support. I have the version of this model that only supports a subset of these functions. This might be because I’m going through the Aqara hub. I’ll try a ZHA hookup later to see if indeed the events reach HA with function beyond the double press.

Not sure if it was a recent HA update or what but this blueprint automation no longer triggers. I can see the button working in events but traces in the in the automation are not acknowledging anything
I also noticed that my automations weren’t working, but I found a solution. In the variables trigger.event.data.args.value needs to be changed into trigger.event.data.args.attribute_value, both on line 53 and 56.
This blueprint broke after upgrading from 2024.9 to 2024.10. For anyone else trying to figure out how to fix it, go into the blueprint and and change line 159
