Hue Tap Dial rotation not always registered by Home Assistant about core HOT 3 OPEN

Hey there @Kane610, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (deconz) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

I have the same problem but with OpenHab. My debugging indicates it is on deCONZ side.

Normal button events (1xxx-4xxx) change all the time after pressing.
Rotation events (5xxx-6xxx) barely - almost never - occur. Multiple "Hue Tab Dial Switches" tested.

Maybe good to read the updated messages here: dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin#7804 and also refer to some extra information here: Kane610/deconz#359. Turns out that the event you should look for is not a deconz_event but a deconz_relative_rotary_event, at least in Home Assistant. These rotary events are different from the standard buttonevents.
