Clone/Sync/Slave two matching Zigbee Switches

Configuration Zigbee
1

I hope I’m not asking a stupid question. I have two Moes 4-Button Scene Switch Z2M (TS0044) in my office. They both do exactly the same thing and have the same layout but I would ideally would like to setup one and for them both to match. Doing it manually is obviously do-able but changing just one of the buttons actions turns into a multistep process that I have to remember which button does what and then repeat on the other switch.
Is there some way to slave on switch to the other as far as their setup goes?
Again sorry if this has been answered before, search failed me so I thought I’d ask.
Thanks!

Look for a blueprint called sync two switch entities. Works great.

Thanks - finally time to finally learn how to use blueprints!

Hmm, on closer inspection the switches are’t entities but devices which can’t be sync’d. The only entities the switches offer are firmware and their battery status.

Yep, scene switches send events, therefore there won’t be any entities to display.

You have 2 options here:

  • Configure the automation on one switch. Go into Yaml mode. Copy everything and paste it into a new automation. Search and replace any reference to your first switch with your second switch. It’s still a manual process, but it can be done in a couple of minutes.
  • Have a look at switch manager. It might not fix your issue, but it seems like the interface makes copying configs over more user-friendly.

Thanks. Switch manager looks great and would be something that would be great in the normal Home Assistant UI. It installed OK but haven’t got it to discover the switch.
Think I’ll just go the YAML route or just do it manually (it is only 4 buttons after all). Just thought I’d ask the question. Thanks for the help.

I don’t use it personally, but I’ve run into it on these forums and thought it looked quite neat for your scenario.

Regarding the yaml, if that fixes your issue please take the time to mark my post with the Solution tag so that others with the same problem can find the answer immediately when searching
