Looks sensible to me, but if there is no event actually generated by the binding to trigger your rule, then there is no event.
THE problem with the Hue bridge is that every connected device has to be polled over the Hue API.
I can not see that it is doable to get every transmit from a remote into openhab without some loss of packets.
In other words: It is a limitation in the Hue API.
Mybe the Hue binding can do a little bit better, but as long as the API only support polling, it will never be perfect.
