I just bought several of Ikea's new Matter / Thread products, I am trying to setup the BILRESA as a trigger for an automation, but I can't seem to find just the trigger for the button clicks... I can set it to trigger if the state changes and then check the state, but then if I do the same click in a row it doesn't trigger...

You need event. I see them on your list, one entity for each button

the "state" of an event entity is the time that the last event happened. so the state does change even when the same event happens multiple times in a row.

#

but you can't just match on the event type attribute, because that doesn't change.

Thank u! That makes sense, got it working.

yep, that should work. If i want to handle multiple different actions in the same automation, the way i normally handle it is by adding a "choose" block to the actions, which can then do different things depending on what the event type was.
