Hi, I had the same issue with my somrig remote. What worked for me in the end was:
I had to first start the search for new Zigbee devices in Home Assistant.
Than I pushed the pairing button on the somrig remote 4 times, so that it starts flashing red.
When HA finds the device, I waited till the interview was complete and HA starts the configuration.
Lastly I pushed and held the pairing button on the somrig remote for 10 seconds. HA than finished the configuration (the window turned green) and finally both buttons worked.
I aslo held the somrig remote really close to the Zigbee gateway during the process.
It could be possible that the procedure did nothing and it just started work somehow, but I have tried for some time and after I did the above it worked
@cecche thank you for creating this Blueprint
I added some things I find usefull. If you find them usefull too, you can update your blueprint with it.
Because the single_press event has a native delay, I added the initial_press event as an alternative since it is send by the remote first without delay on any type of press. This also means if an action is provided for initial_press and single_press/long_press/long_release/double_press, both are going to be executed. For that I added an option, which lets you choose wether or not you want to execude the initial_press action only, without having to remove your already defined actions for the other events, if you change your mind later.
I also added cluster_id: 64640 so that the automation only triggers for button presses and not the checkin events.

This effectively reduces the number of button press types to one per button in exchange for a fast single press (initial_press). Since you can set this seperatly for the single and double dot buttons of the remote, it is possible to combine both.
E.g. the single dot button as a fast light switch and the double dot button for other actions that aren’t that time sensitive.
