Switch H2 EU - Double Press not available in Home Assistant

dario_ivone · July 27, 2025, 10:00pm

Hy All
I have integrated the Switches H2 EU via hub M3 in Home Assistant as Matter.
I am unable to see the event double-pressed.
AM I missing something?

Thanks

Hi mate, double press and long press options are only available using Aqara Home via Zigbee. For other ecosystems only single press is available.

Thank you @Cifer_Aqara

I have also a H1 wireless switch and the event double press and hold are available in Home Assistant. I think is more related to the H2 switches

Yea for wireless switch with no relay switches we do support these actions you are right. But for the in-wall ones, it’s not, unfortunately

This should be true for the main button with the relay but not for the second one that is a wireless switch.

Looking online and also on this forum it seems that works but only via zigbee integration, not with matter integration in Home assistant

I ve purchased some H2 4-buttons, and initialy I was dissapointed I couldn’t have the double click in home assistant, via homekit.

suddenly, it appeared though!! the strange thing is that it does not work for all of them. Below you see two images of the available triggers in a ha automation.

do you have the same the behavior? there is no firmware update available. So, how do i get them all to have double and long clink?

I’ve implemented the switch via aqara hub M3 and used Matter as protocol.
In my case, still nothing on the double press.
I can see that your implementation is via HomeKit.
I actually created an automation that checks if the button is pressed twice within a second

cant you use signal to pass through the double press if its not showing for you, I know its a pain but it should work.

in home assistant create a button helper, call it h2 double press (living room or which ever room its in).

Then in aqara app profile connect to eco systems then create a signal for the double press?

then just automate when that signal is activate it presses the input bootlean

(the reasoning behind having the automation and bootleen is incase you ever need to restart or reset the m3 and messing up the signal, sometimes home assistant will play silly and kill the automation the disable it.

If you do it this way you have a option to just change the trigger in automation for the bootleen if tthen signal ends up with a different name

I didn’t know about signals.
I didn’t test it yet, but via Aqara app (profile-> connect to ecosystems), I created a signal for the double press and chose Matter as ecosystem. In this way I can see directly a new device under matter integration in Home Assistant.
Thank you!

Any update on this topic, I just purchased the H2 EU DOBBLE DOCKER for the longpress feature that is listed in the zigbee2mqtt page and it doesn’t show in home assistant. I never get the long press… I want to one dimmer per button but it doesn’t work without the long press. Thanks for your help
