Hello I would use a state change as the trigger, then in the action use an if to look for an off. That way you could use it to turn on the speakers with the chromecast
I run this server

My guess is the massive amount of hardware variations, you would need a house full of devices to test all the different options
just had a look in HACS, but nothing there.
What you could try is adding items to a todo list, with an automation to drop the last entry when a new item is added.
OMG, how do?
In the UK most lights don’t have a live, neutral and earth wires. Which is a pain when looking for smart switches
In that case, I would recommend a shelly button -> https://www.shelly.com/en/products/shop/shelly-button-1-white as its WiFi and the Shelly firmware has all the things you need, I have a few Shelly things and they are rock solid
The bit of info missing here is that ZigBee is a meshing network, as said most (but not all) mains powered ZigBee devices are routers. That means any end devices will connect to a router if it’s closer and the router will relay the message back, that could be directe or via another router.
To fix your issue, some well placed ZigBee plugs could be all you need.
I have door sensors on all the external doors, if a door is opened then turn the heating off. This helps over the winter when we have a firepit going and the kids are in and out every 5 minutes
No, if a device has multiple entities I leave the names as they are. HA will append them to the name of the device
For my Zigbee things I use this

So to break it down:
That’s fair, was just a thought 🤔
Not a device suggestion but a debugging suggestion, have you moved a second floor alarm with a ground floor alarm?
If not, move only 1 alarm and see if that goes off
Yes, I do, it’s too early 😞
I would use Shelly for relays, sonoff for sensors
If your in the market for WiFi stuff, shelly is my go-to. They have local access, ha integration and even mqtt if thats your bag
But home assistant, just use home assistant?
I have my hive heating in it and control when it is on
Or jerboa, I use that right now
Was going to recommend nextcloud, but you don’t want another service to host.
It might be worth a look at nextcloud, to see if it has other tools you use.
That is true, there migh be a state change from on to off that you can pick
