Homekit bridge stateless programmable switch showing “not supported” after a few days

[lightingghost]

The problem

I have a zigbee programmable button, and was connected to home assistant via zigbee2mqtt.

I also configured homekit bridge to bridge this button to apple home, by adding the button in advanced configuration of programmable switches.

It works OK at first (despite not showing the single press, double press, long press options). However, after a few days, the switch in apple home showed “not supported”, and configured actions no longer works.

Is there anything I am doing wrong? any help will be appreciated

I have the same issue with HomeKit integration. After the update I lost actions like single press, double press and long press. Automations also stopped working due to lack of actions in entities

I was even about to add my case here, but after performing several HA restarts and reloading the configuration + changing the language to English, it suddenly turned out that the buttons were available!

Thank you! This is not the case for me -- I restarted HA, and the button is still showing "not supported"

I believe this is a bug since this button was previously used with homebridge and no issue.
