LIFX Button Matter Switch Blueprints – Home Assistant

Easily create automations for Single, Double, and Long Press actions on LIFX Switches on Matter in Home Assistant all in one tidy automation. May work for similar 2/4 button Generic Matter Switches (untested).

These blueprints simplify the setup for both 2-Button and 4-Button switches, allowing flexible entity naming and easy assignment of actions. The goal was to simply just make creating actions faster with less configuration.

Important - LIFX APP Setup - Ensure to setup Switch wiring configuration within the LIFX App before adding to Home Assistant by the Matter intergration.

Set “No Action” within Button Settings on the LIFX App (and/or other Matter Controllers) for button presses which are controlled in Home Assistant.

:zap: Usage

2-Button Switch

  • Event entity naming rules:
    These blueprints listen to the event entities created by your Matter switch, such as
    event.devicename_button_31 or event.devicename_button_32.

  • The blueprint checks the event entity_id string to determine which physical button was pressed.
    It will match if the event entity_id contains any of these substrings:

    For Button 1

    • button_31 (default Matter event)
    • button_1
    • switch_1

    For Button 2

    • button_32 (default Matter event)
    • button_2
    • switch_2

:white_check_mark: Examples: event.study_switch_button_31, event.kids_switch_1, or event.button_1 will all be recognized as Button 1.

4-Button Switch

  • Event entity naming rules:
    Same logic as above, extended to 4 event entities.
    The blueprint expects event.* entities like event.devicename_button_31 … event.devicename_button_34.

    For Button 1

    • button_31 (default Matter event)
    • button_1
    • switch_1

    For Button 2

    • button_32 (default Matter event)
    • button_2
    • switch_2

    For Button 3

    • button_33 (default Matter event)
    • button_3
    • switch_3

    For Button 4

    • button_34 (default Matter event)
    • button_4
    • switch_4

:white_check_mark: Examples: event.kitchen_button_34, event.study_switch_3, or event.devicename_button_2 will all be recognized correctly.

:point_right: Once your event entities are selected in the blueprint, you can assign actions for each press type:

  • multi_press_1 → Single Press
  • multi_press_2 → Double Press
  • long_press → Long Press

Define actions for each of the above press types per button.
Leave any action blank if not used.

:memo: Notes

  • Both blueprints include end delay (default 100 ms) to avoid false positives, e.g. long press triggering single press.
  • No actions are pre-filled — you can fully customize them in the automation editor.
  • Works with LIFX Switches which have been updated to Matter, with flexible support for renamed entities.

This also works with the IKEA BILRESA Dual Button (new Matter product from IKEA late 2025).
It’s a great help.
Thx! :slight_smile:
