[HA] Using Wait Until with a different payload

General
1

Hey guys!

I use NodeRed with my Home Assistant, and with the recent changes that are happening in the Zigbee2MQTT add-on we are going to lose the "action sensor" entities, to capture scene button actions. With action being deprecated, some people are advising to use the new "experimental" Events. But on the same Z2M documentation they recommend not to use it, since it's gonna stop working in the future.

The official recommendation is to use MQTT Trigger, but I think this cannot be used by "Wait Until" nodes.

How could I be handling this?
I was thinking if there is an alternative to Wait Until that can get changes from an external payload.
Thanks!

Very few here are using HA... In addition, this is a very specific request linked to a feature on a node from an additional palette.
You'd be better off asking the same question on the HA forum.

Thanks. I'll post on a HA forum. I thought there could be more HA users here.

I think z2m docs haven't been updated. Afaik this change isn't going away.

For right now you can re enable the old actions by adding the following to configuration.yaml.

homeassistant:
  legacy_action_sensor: true
