Hey all - newbie here (with some experience). I’ve run into a weird pattern and wondering if anyone else has seen this.
Tried automating my Xiaomi X20+ (via Xiaomi Miot) to clean a specific room or enable mopping. Read all the posts, docs, tried every suggestion — nothing worked. The vacuum card buttons work fine, but call_action in automations just... does nothing. I double-checked the siid, aiid, and params - they seem to be correct. So I gave up.
Then I moved on and tried something totally different: show a popup with Browser Mod when my Reolink doorbell is pressed. The popup works instantly from Developer Tools, but put the same yaml in an automation and... nothing. Automation triggers, no popup, no error.
So now I’m thinking the issue isn’t Xiaomi or Browser Mod specifically - maybe my setup just doesn’t run “perform action” services from automations at all?
Am I missing something. Anyone run into this? Ideas how to troubleshoot?
I have Home Assistant Green.
