Yes, I am still trying to figure out, how to convert this blueprint correctly to work with switch manager. I hope someone beats me to it 
I still don’t know which blueprint I should use. Your blueprint from post #92, or the one, from chris’ repository a few posts above yours?
Erik, the blueprints are quite alike, both using the event trigger. Up to you, based on you need and requirements.
I will maintain my versions as long I have the switches myself, expected to be several years.

I have 2 of the PTM 215Z remotes connected via Z2M. What is really annoying about these is there are no entities for these remotes, so i cannot reference them in automations, for example: “When button 1 is pressed, do this” or use them as bypasses in my other automations for controlling lights. How do i get past this obstacle? I’m fairly new to HA, so excuse my amateur-ism.
My switches are listed in the device tab of ZigBee2MQTT and in addition to that under Settings>Devices
This sounds like a problem on your side then. Are you sure, that you paired them correctly?
Thank you. That helps me a lot!
You just need to send this payload:
{“brightness_move”: number_value}
number_value could be positive, negative. “stop” or 0 and the brightness move will stop
Zigbee2MQTT - PTM215Z/ZE I have created a blueprint which does not require the elapsed function. It has the same design as the nice work from @vandalon
Erik, sorry. Was not meant as beeing rude, however what do you expect me to answer.
There are 2 people making quite similar blueprints. I could answer that my blueprint was the best, however who am I to state that, never trying the other. I could also claim that someone else blueprint was the best, again would just be a statement.
So, you need to either try or just jump for one of them. They are all described.
And, I was not trying to be rude.
Sorry. Sometimes sentences with a different look seem mean. But that was indeed meant honestly and was not intended as sarcasm.

Chris, it was the zigbee command to control the “color temperatur” of the white bulb which was needed, not the brightness. Do you know?
Oups…I read too quickly.
It should be color_temp_move with a positive, negative value. Like the brightness, you should send 0 or stop value to stop
The payload will look {“color_temp_move”: 40}
You may also use a step move. The payload will then be {“color_temp_step”: -40}

Thank you!
Now i got an action entity in HA, but as the screenshot implies, it will still be pretty impossible to use this in an automation if the entity just “detected an event”.
@ErikSteiner , you asked whether i have it properly connected. How can i check this? When i got it i reset it and set it to pairing mode, paired it with Z2M and then used this blueprint to configure the buttons. It works, but i only have one entity in HA. Here are some additional screenshots. The switch is called “Badeværelse_Afbryder_Enocean”.
I hope you can help me further with getting more… elaborate entities in HA that i can use in automations. Thanks in advance.
If you go to “settings” - “Devices&Service” - “Devices” and choose the switch, then on the left side there is a “automations box”. There is a small “+”. If you press this, a new automation opens, and you can select the button to automate.
Easier is to use one of the blueprints, like the “simple” in post #92. Will give a select for choosing the switch, and press and release for all 4 buttons.
Erik, some time ago you asked if the blueprint could control the color-temperatur. There is a new version in post #92 which on the right button with bright/warm the color of bulbs supporting this.
All thanks to chris-1243 for the needed zigbee command.

So I’m using the original vandalon automation, but I’d like to have scenes for double and possible triple and quadruple presses, anyone can point me in the right direction?
Im pretty new to this, can you send me a complete yaml of your ligth so i can see how you set up the entity ? 
(for dimming)
In post no. 92 in this thread, there is a blueprint including dimming. The blueprint have the yaml.
Copy the dimming blueprint to a file, e.g. “Z2M-enocean-dimming.yaml”. Place the file in “config/blueprints/automations’ and restart HA. You should now be able to create a automation from the blueprint.
Year that part i got, but when i set in a light in i can only get it to turn on af off not dim 
using this
The kbltest.yaml is Z2M-enocean-dimming.yaml

I think you use the blueprint from post #72 and not from post #92. There is no “repeat” function in the new versions. The new versions use zigbee commands to avoid the “non smooth” dimming, using HA commands.
An example of my blueprint yaml below. The important part is setting the MQTT name of the light or light group. In the below example “Gang All” is a Zigbee2MQTT group, created in Z2M and called “Gand All”. It will also work with the name of a light bulb, if only a single bulb.
alias: Gang Kontakter
description: ""
use_blueprint:
path: Zigbee2mqtt-Enocean-Dimming-v2.yaml

controller: Gang All
switch:
- event.gang_nede_kontakt_action
- event.gang_oppe_kontakt_action
button_1_short_release:
- action: scene.turn_on
metadata: {}

entity_id: scene.gang_high

button_2_short_release:
- action: scene.turn_on
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: scene.gang_low
data: {}
button_3_short_release:
- action: scene.turn_on
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: scene.gang_medium
data: {}
button_3_long_release:
- action: scene.turn_on
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: scene.gang_medium_2
data: {}
button_4_short_release:
- action: light.turn_off

And the current version of the dimming blueprint, to avoid misunderstandings.

Hi all. I tried out this blueprint but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. The automation always stops due tue a template condition:
condition: template
value_template: |
{{
('release_' in trigger.payload_json.action and trigger.payload_json.elapsed is defined)
or 'press_' in trigger.payload_json.action
}}
The automation I tested is as following:
- id: "1738233416304"
