Unified Remote Linux Wayland Mouse Click Workaround/Fix

[Nerwyn]

Unified Remote's mouse click does not work on Wayland. This is a known issue but Unified Remote has not been updated in years. While the most common solution is to modify the Unified Remote server files to call a mouse down then up action instead, you can instead use a Home Assistant script to do the same thing without modifying your server files.

Script:

sequence:
  - action: unified_remote.call
    metadata: {}
    data:
      remote: "{{ remote }}"
      remote_id: Core.Mouse
      action: dragend
  - action: unified_remote.call
    metadata: {}
    data:
      remote: "{{ remote }}"
      remote_id: Core.Mouse
      action: down
  - action: unified_remote.call
    metadata: {}
    data:
      remote: "{{ remote }}"
      remote_id: Core.Mouse
      action: up
alias: Unified Remote Wayland Mouse Click
description: ""

Then replace the Universal Remote Card Unified Remote mousepad center tap action with the following using a custom element action:

tap_action:
  action: perform-action
  perform_action: script.turn_on
  data:
    variables:
      remote: '{{ config.card.device }}'
  target:
    entity_id: script.unified_remote_wayland_mouse_click

You should now be able to click the mouse with this card on Wayland with Unified Remote. Unfortunately there isn't a workaround for right clicks, but the dragend action at the beginning of the script sequence keeps the hold click drag functionality working.
