I’ve added a Philips Hue dimmer to home assistant via ZHA (Skyconnect) and exposed it to HomeKit. The resulting triggers shows 36 possible buttons to use (press, double, triple, long press etc) but they are named as Button 1, Button 2, Button 3 etc which makes mapping them difficult even though when pressing a button you do get a small visual feedback in the Home app but this is easy to miss.
I’ve mapped the buttons to their corresponding action in case anyone else wants to use it within HomeKit.

| Button 6 | "Turn on" continuously pressed |
| Button 7 | "Turn off" continuously pressed |
| Button 8 | "Dim up" continuously pressed |
| Button 9 | "Dim down" continuously pressed |
| Button 10 | "Turn on" double clicked |
| Button 11 | "Turn off" double clicked |

| Button 13 | "Dim down" double clicked |
| Button 14 | "Turn on" triple clicked |
| Button 15 | "Turn off" triple clicked |
| Button 16 | "Dim up" triple clicked |
| Button 17 | "Dim down" triple clicked |
| Button 18 | "Turn on" quadruple clicked |
| Button 19 | "Turn off" quadruple clicked |
| Button 20 | "Dim up" quadruple clicked |
| Button 21 | "Dim down" quadruple clicked |
| Button 22 | "Turn on" quintuple clicked |
| Button 23 | "Turn off" quintuple clicked |
| Button 24 | "Dim up" quintuple clicked |
| Button 25 | "Dim down" quintuple clicked |
| Button 26 | "Turn on" released |
| Button 27 | "Turn off" released |
| Button 28 | "Dim up" released |
| Button 29 | "Dim down" released |
| Button 30 | "Turn on" released after long press |
| Button 31 | "Turn off" released after long press |
| Button 32 | "Dim up" released after long press |
| Button 33 | "Dim down" released after long press |
| Button 34 | Philips Switch 2 Binary input turned on |
| Button 35 | Philips Switch 2 Binary input turned off |
| Button 36 | Philips Switch 2 Battery battery level changes |
| ? | Philips Switch 2 Identify has been pressed |
I’m not sure if it’s technically possible for the Button names (Button 1, Button 2 etc) to be changed in HomeKit to reflect the actually names in Home Assistant but this might be something to investigate.
