Problem Description

When your Inovelli Inovelli Multi-Tap Events isn't working as expected, it usually traces back to one of a small number of causes — this guide covers them in order, starting with the most likely.

Symptoms

  • Single tap works
  • No event on double tap
  • Automation never fires

Recognize these? Here's what usually causes it.

Common Causes

  • Wrong event type in automation
  • Device not reconfigured
  • Integration mapping changed

Most fixes happen in the first 3 steps.

Warning

Do not rely on outdated forum snippets without verifying current payload format.

Tools & Requirements

Step-by-Step Solution

1

Read live events

Use Home Assistant event tools to identify exact event fields emitted by current integration.

2

Rebuild triggers

Map automations to current event payload keys instead of older examples.

3

Reconfigure device

Run re-interview/reconfigure so capabilities are refreshed after firmware or integration changes.

Quick Solutions

Capture raw event payload
Update automation trigger
Reconfigure device

Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.

If the sensor still misses events after repositioning, check whether a scheduled 'home' or 'away' mode is overriding the sensitivity setting silently.

Pro Tip

Keep a reusable blueprint for known-good multi-tap mappings.

Real-World Insight

Home Assistant issues that only appear after restart are a well-known quirk — triggers that require prior state history simply can't fire until that history rebuilds.

What Usually Goes Wrong
  • Wrong event type in automation
  • Device not reconfigured
  • Integration mapping changed
