SmartThings needs to create a profile/plugin for the Matter button driver before this will work correctly. Currently shows up as 1 button in SmartThings. Home Assistant and Apple Home correctly show all 10 buttons.
Yes…
… but:
If it has more than eight buttons, it seems to fall back to one button profile.
Creating profiles for 9-button and 10-button could solve the issue.
Yes, that would solve it, but shouldn’t be necessary. Those are just predefined static profiles that the driver can utilize. If there is not a predefined profile, it should fall back to the Parent/Child method. Further down we see:
if ep ~= main_endpoint then
component_map[string.format("button%d", current_component_number)] = ep
current_component_number = current_component_number + 1
else
component_map["main"] = ep
end
component_map_used = true
else -- use parent/child
if ep ~= main_endpoint then -- don't create a child device that maps to the main endpoint
local name = string.format("%s %d", device.label, current_component_number)
driver:try_create_device(
{
type = "EDGE_CHILD",
label = name,
profile = "button",
parent_device_id = device.id,
parent_assigned_child_key = string.format("%02X", ep),
vendor_provided_label = name
}
)
current_component_number = current_component_number + 1
end
end
end
It should… as always…
@Automated_House Do you have the device? Would be very easy to check what’s going on.
My GUESS would be that only the first endpoint identifies as a button and the rest are something else. Could be wrong, but that would certainly explain the behavior.
To handle devices with up to eight buttons differently to devices with more than eight buttons is kind of ugly anyway…
I think they created profiles for what they thought were some common configurations of switches/buttons; 2 gang, 4 gang, etc…
Yes, I got a test version from CES. Home Assistant and Apple Home each show 10 buttons. Here’s snippet from the ST Advanced user site. I’m guessing the numberofbuttons attribute being blank isn’t good…
Only a main component.
A screenshot from the summary section would be helpful.
And the attributes section could be incomplete (more than 10 lines).
Here is a driver with profiles for 9 and 10 buttons:

But please provide the screenshot and the output first, so we can see how the stock driver handles the device.
To be fair, this keyboard would be of greater interest to me if it were a macropad.
I love mechanical keyboards, huge hobby of mine, currently have 8 in rotation with 3 sitting in a draw somewhere, bringing the total to 10.
That being said I love the idea of rotating keyboards so that kills this for me, and also not a fan of a full keyboard aesthetically.
A macropad however would be dope and would then permanently be a part of my set up.
Did the modified Matter switch driver that I created for you work with the keyboard?
