[Device] Niko Wireless Zigbee Switch (battery, single button) about homebridge-z2m HOT 4 OPEN

What's not working currently in HomeKit?

All Action values are exposed.
Combining them into a single button will not change the behavior or the events that get triggered.

from homebridge-z2m.

Five buttons are exposed to HomeKit:

A single press is mapped to button one in HomeKit, then a second single press is mapped to button two. then it goes back to button one, and then two and so on.

Long pressing is mapped to button 4, and then another long press is mapped to button 5. Releasing the long press from either of the two long presses is mapped to button 3.

Mapping the button to turning on and off a connected light with a single short press is not working, as the switch will use either button 1 or 2, depending what was pressed before.

Example:

1. Turn on light with switch => switch pressed button 1 in HomeKit, light turns on.
2. Turn off light via app/voice => switch is still in button 1 state
3. Press light switch again => button 2 is pressed in HomeKit ie: turn OFF the lights but they already are off, so the button press is useless.
4. Press light switch again => button 1 is pressed in HomeKit, light is turned on.

Is it possible to configure the switch to be only: button 1 : Toggle(ON/OFF), button 2 : Long press?

Thank you for your answer.

For such customization, I would suggest to see if you can handle this particular device with a plugin like homebridge-mqttthing.
