IFTTT light bulb status device not found

IFTTT offers a lot of triggers, but if I try to create an applet the device is not found. Specifically I try to read the status of my Aqara Bulb (T2). IFTTT offers me the trigger “Hub light / bulb was turned on/off” (https://ifttt.com/Aqara_Home_EU/triggers/turn_on_off_light), but does not show my bulb in the device select field. I know, the bulb works in general with IFTTT as I can select it as an output.
What I am doing wrong? Do I have to set it up in the Aqara App in another way than standard? (I connect it via Zigbee with the Camera Hub G3)
If it is not possible, why does IFTTT offer me the trigger?

I have the same problem with the camera for certain triggers. Motion detection works, but with face detection as trigger the camera is not found in the device list.

Thank you in advance for some hints!

Thank you, but I am not sure which screenshots you are referring to or would be helpful? I provided the link to the trigger of the bulb in my post. IFTTT just does not list the device in the select field of the trigger. The rest is hardware.

I built now a workaround with the help of an ESP32 triggering the webhook of IFTTT. Therefore I make use of the automation in the aqara home app and send an IR signal with the camera G3 to the ESP32. In this way I can use the full spectrum of aqara triggers in IFTTT.
