Refactor Home Assistant Hue switch automations to use hue_event for improved reliability

* Replace multiple device-based automations with a single event-driven automation
* Eliminate duplicate `unique_id` conflicts
* Switch from device actions to service calls (`cover.open_cover`, `cover.close_cover`, `light.turn_on/off`)
* Add support for:

  * Short press (button 1) → open garage
  * Long press (button 1) → close garage
  * Short press (button 4) → turn off all lights
  * Long press (button 4) → turn on all lights
* Set `mode: restart` to improve responsiveness under rapid input
* Simplify structure for easier maintenance and debugging

Result: more stable and predictable Hue switch behavior
