Hey,

I have mqtt dash button in my home. But after the last update of zigbee2mqtt the type of that button changed in HA.
So I have no idea how to track the state. Can somebody help me there?:

So, it's now an event entity, because buttons don't have a state

#

If you just care if it was pushed then just trigger on any state change of the new entity

how does that work? I'm not really familiar with that. I subscribed "*" in the developers tools -> events but I don't see any state of the button

It's an event entity

#

So you use it in a state trigger, like any other entity

I don't get it.
I have a device there. The device has a battery state entity and a select entity which I can use to change between "event" and "command".
There is no event entity, which I could use !? See my first screenshot.

Enable events in Z2M then
