Dummy stateless switch does not work as trigger for automation #34

I am trying to use a stateless dummy switch to trigger an automation to open my garage door (so I can bypass the Siri security requirement that my iPhone be unlocked to open the garage door). The dummy switch works fine from Apple's Home app and Siri. "Test Automation" works fine to open the garage door when adding the automation. However, using the switch does not trigger the automation, either through the Home App, Siri or the Homebridge web UI.

Automation using an actual device as the trigger, for example a Wemo Light Switch, works fine to open the garage door. So the issue is definitely with the Homebridge dummy switch.

The hub providing automations is the new Apple HomePod mini running the latest OS, 14.2.
