Bug - Double Press event not recognized/working with E1766

Blueprint name

Controller - IKEA E1766 TRÅDFRI Open/Close Remote

Home Assistant Core Version

2024.1.3

Home Assistant Installation Type

Home Assistant Operating System

Description

I have followed the instructions fully and created a helper as the documentation suggests, and everything seems to be in order. However, the double press events are not firing at all. Not sure what's wrong here. Running via Z2M. I've also tried playing around with Double Press Delay values from 100ms all the way to 800ms, but nothing has worked so far. Any help? What am I doing wrong?

To Reproduce

Create the automation using my YAML and the same helper name, and only the short press events work.

Expected behavior

The double-press events should work, but the short press events are fired immediately.

Actual Behaviour

Double-press events not run at all

For anyone having the same issue, I found the solution in another thread. The regex for matching to helper controller events is out of date in the blueprint. Open the blueprint YAML file (EPMatt/ikea_e1766.yaml), find the two entities that start with regex_match and replace the existing first regex_match with this:

regex_match("^\{((\"a\":\".*\"|\"t\":\d+\.\d+)(,)?){2}\}$")) else as_timestamp("1970-01-01 00:00:00"))) * 1000 }}' for the second one, use this

regex_match("^\{((\"a\":\".*\"|\"t\":\d+\.\d+)(,)?){2}\}$")) else "" }}'

basically this eliminated the spaces from the regex match which is what's causing the blueprint to not recognize double-press events. for good measure, don't forget to reload automations or restart home assistant after this.
