Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.14.6 - Test for specific potion type

Question

I am playing on bedrock edition, so afaik I do not have the ability to look at NBT tags. I am trying to create a puzzle where the player must brew a specific potion in order to unlock a door. Is there a way to test for a specific potion? I don't mind how the testing is done, i.e. they could need to place it in a hopper, a chest, an item frame, drink it, simply brew it, etc. I can't seem to find any method that would work, the commands in bedrock seem very limited.

Even though there's no NBT, there are data values for different types of potions.

You can use clear in a repeating command block to clear all the potions of a particular type and use a comparator to unlock the door.

Put this in a repeating command block:

clear @a potion <data value>

where the <data value> is one of the following (from the wiki):

┌─────────────────────────────┬─────────┬──────────┬──────────┐
│           Potion            │ Regular │ Extended │ Enhanced │
├─────────────────────────────┼─────────┼──────────┼──────────┤
│ Water Bottle                │       0 │          │          │

^{sorry mobile users}

Then put a redstone comparator next to it, which will output a signal strength equal to the number of items removed.
