Okay… maybe not literally, but it sure feels like it.
I’m using several Aqara Mini Buttons around the house to trigger different scenes and automations. One of them controls a roller blind between the prep kitchen and the front kitchen — the button triggers an Aqara relay, and the relay moves the blind. Nice and simple.
At least it was simple.
For the past few days, I’ve been getting ghost events from this Mini Button (and a few others). The weird part: the button is lying in a drawer, untouched… and still fires an event in Home Assistant. The screenshot says it all: the last real press was two days ago (December 1st), but under “Activities” you see several fresh events from today — which then triggered the automation.
When changing an event, “unknown or unavailable” is also recognized.
Search for the entity under ‘History’, select ‘Last 7 days’, click on the three dots in the top right corner, select ‘Download data’, then open the CSV file in a text editor. You will probably see something like this:
I follow this advice Event - Home Assistant (thank you @mocelet), but “unknown” and “unavailable” seems not to be the problem. I don’t know which system fires the events. Very weird…
