Defining an Event for a Thing - Aqara/Xiaomi "WXKG11LM Wireless Mini Switch"

[chaletbenadam]

I am attempting to configure an Aqara/Xiaomi "WXKG11LM Wireless Mini Switch" to toggle a light on and off based on a single click. The device is correctly recognized from the signature string "lumi.remote.b1acn01" and supports the "multi level input property" with four possible values:

• 1 for a single press
• 2 for a double press
• 0 for a long press
• 255 for release (after a long press)

I have been able to define this device in the zb-xiaomi.js extension file and can build rules based any one of the four values.

The value returned from the device does not change until a different button action is executed, e.g. a single press returns a value of '1' but another single press some time later cannot be detected as the value returned has not changed.

However, I would really like to be able to used a single click to toggle on and off another device rather than having to use a single click to turn on the device and a double-click to turn off the device. If I use value=1 and the present state of the device I am activating (i.e. on/off), the I get the classic flip-flop result reported in issue 694 - and based on the discussion in that posting, I can see that the answer is to use "events" and I can even see that there is code to support "single press", "double press", and "long press" - but cannot see how to define these for my device.

I will keep playing with the configuration, but any assistance on how to define an event would be greatly appreciated.

For information, here is the current configuration of the WXKG11LM:
/*
BACKGROUND READING
Property vs. Action vs. Event
Toggle option for Rules
Flip-Flop Implementation?
