My rule "when a trigger channel fires" does not trigger

The Channel has to be an event Channel, not a State Channel. Not all Channels can be used to trigger a rule.

Ah, ok. Thanks for clarification! I didn’t know that.

Actually i want to get a trigger of my somrig ikea “shortcut button”. I didn’t get this working so far and my idea was to write a rule that triggers directly the channel.

Somrig from IKEA - a zigbee switch does not work

Here some more information: node information zigbee node 5CC7C1FFFE3EBEE4 > IEEE Address : 5CC7C1FFFE3EBEE4 > Network Address : 17073 > Node Descriptor : NodeDescriptor [apsFlags=0, bufferSize=82, complexDescriptorAvailable=false, manufacturerCode=117C, logicalType=END_DEVICE, serverCapabilities=[], incomingTransferSize=82, outgoingTransferSize=82, userDescriptorAvailable=false, frequencyBands=[FREQ_2400_MHZ], macCapabilities=[REDUCED_FUNCTION_DEVICE], extendedEndpointListAvailable=false…

Can i see the type of the channel someare in the ui or somewhere else?

This is the code of the channel:

  - id: 5CC7C1FFFE3EBEE4_1_dimmer
    channelTypeUID: zigbee:switch_level
    label: "REMOTE_CONTROL: Level Control"
    configuration:
      zigbee_reporting_polling: 2147483647

I got this idea from a youtube video and the integration of this shortcut button in home assistent. I’m not familar with home assistent. There this device has no states (like on/off of a switch), but you can trigger events.
