Start-of-flow trigger for momentary controls (Aqara buttons, Hue dimmers, scene switches). Fires on EVERY press, including a repeat of the same press type : button events are pulses with no meaningful 'unchanged' state, so the usual transition filter does not apply. Branch on the `value` pin to tell single from double from hold; the exact strings are the device's own.
