Aqara micro button

Post by siclark »

This is a small hand wireless button , approx 3cmx3xm. It recognises 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x clicks. Apparently some models (with same model numberof WXKG11LM) recognise hold, but mine doesnt.

I have this setup in Shims as an On/Off device. The payload is like this

{"battery":100,"voltage":3145,"linkquality":97,"click":"double"}

Putting click as the payload key and leaving On Value blank, I get single, double, triple or quadruple populated in the device custom state of click. I can then create a trigger on the change of status when it equals one of these values.
The trouble is that the click state is not reset, so I have created a delayed action on my Button Topic Component Trigger to send a MQTT message back to the Button with a null click state. This works well.

The message back takes the values from the Indigo device states, so it has the correct values, as per this format.

{"battery":%%d:1473899162:battery%%,"voltage":%%d:1473899162:voltage%%,"linkquality":%%d:1473899162:linkquality%%,"click":""}

Edit, just seen my log. Do this as a delayed action on a trigger when click has any change. Otherwise it gets in a loop sending back an updated message whenever there is. achange in battery or link quality. Dont do it on the Trigger Component trigger.

I'm beginning to think there needs to be a GenericSensor type device that just has custom states, no onOffState or ValueState. Because shoehorning these into the two other types is just ugly.

I set my Aqara Double Switch up as a generic JSON Device and then use different triggers to pick the different payload states. :)

Thanks Jon, now have it sorted with the following for anyone else who gets one, It now shows click=single, click=double but when I hold the button it removes the click= and adds action=hold and action=release.
Just need to sort out my Aqara 2 gang wireless switch which your post should help with and also a 4 key Aqara Opple.

Thanks autolog & CliveS for your efforts with these Aqara micro buttons. : 8) Got myself one of these buttons to try it out and use it f.ex. with my garage door controller or some extra buttons for lightning.

However, I ran into issue when I needed two single clicks in row - I cant trigger consecutive single clicks. I used identical setup as CliveS. Payload data of two clicks are identical so I guess thats the issue. I've tried triggering with trigger type "MQTT Shims Event" with "Device Updated and State present" and type "Device State Changed" with button device state "action" either "Has any change" or "becomes equal to: click" but no luck.

The latter trigger (Device State Changed) work with different action types though (single, double, hold, release) unless they are ran consecutively. If so they fail to trigger as well.

Any tips to debug or what to try?
