Homekit Devices - Aqara: wall switch are become useless!

[loadamasta]

The problem

Sionde the update to 2024.4 all Aqara switch events are no longer able to start automations: clicks are recognized by home assistant (on the device page the clicks are shown) but events do not start any automation. Event listender does not show any entry on that entities while listening. Worked flawless on 2024.3 before the update to 2024.4. Thus, something of the updates 2024.4 did kill something with the event listening in connection with home kit devices.

I have a similar problem with the Aqara button. When I press the button I see the click in the device page, but my automation stopped working. I was able to fix it by switching from:

trigger:
  - platform: device
    device_id: 98ebf8209fb7543ca82b957c3d694f6c
    domain: homekit_controller
    type: button1
    subtype: single_press
condition: []

To:

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - event.entrance_entrance_button_2
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.event_type == 'single_press' }}"
