#Automation Based on Zigbee Device Event

I have a Legrand remote "switch" bound to via ZHA to Home Assistant. I'm able to receive the events for "on" and "off" when I press the on and off on the switch, as I can see it show up in the device logs. However, when I try to create a new automation after selecting the device, the dropdown list of triggers doesn't show anything that corresponds to the on/off events. It only allows me to put triggers as device offline, firmware changes, etc.

How do I set automation trigger to be the on/off event?

I don't see a state trigger that seems to map to this "Off event"

Does the binary input sensor correspond to the on/off?

It does not.

odd. ultimately you can always use a manual event trigger, but surprised there's not a simpler way

Like I have to manually trigger from zha event or something?

Is there not a way to "bind" the zha event to something on the device?

ideally the ZHA integration would have already done that for you, but maybe it doesn't understand this device

#

yes, manually trigger from zha_event is what I was suggesting

define "everywhere" ?

You can make a template binary sensor that turns on when it gets that event, and then use that in multiple automations
