[BUG] Event is received from switch but light is not actuated in HA

[convicte]

Bug report

Description

I've integrated ControllerX as instructed in the documentation.
Some apps work while others don't.

I've used to use the currently faulty apps for years but for about 6-8 months it's busted.

Very simple setup:

1. Light entity is present and working by all other modes of interaction.
2. Z2M has the experimental event enabled and working
3. Evens from the E1810 are being received in the Apps interface of the Deamon:

The shelly switch also in the config works just fine.

Additional information

Not sure if this is related but inspite of using the listen_to: even I am still seeing the error:
