Hi,

Since the press is represented by an attribute, it could be that information about the configured attribute reporting/subscription is not saved persistently on the device, making it so that the device will no longer send attribute reports after a reboot. You can try to enable persistent subscriptions by enabling the CONFIG_CHIP_PERSISTENT_SUBSCRIPTIONS Kconfig option.

You can read more about this here: Matter - Persistent subscriptions.

Best regards,
Marte

No it wasn't a scene that was set, the button was assigned actions directly on devices in apple home app. Eg. switch on a specific light globe.

Strange that it's registered to two different fabrics. The device was erased and flashed entirely and it was commissioned only using the apple home app.

I'm in the process of setting up chip to test if the same occurs on a different fabric but I guess my question is, is there anything in the code that might be causing it? When the OnInitialPress method is called from the switch server it appears to be logging the InitialPress event but not actually transmitting it which you can see in the last entry of the seirial logs "I: 7923 [ZCL]SwitchServer: OnInitialPress"

Hi,

Did you set it up as an automation in Apple Home, as described under "Create an automation based on an accessory's action" here https://support.apple.com/en-us/102313? Are you still seeing the automation in the Home app after the device has reset? And can you see that you press the button in the app?

Based on the log the device seems to rejoin the Thread network and Matter fabric. However, I see that the device has two Matter fabrics stored. Have you added it to two different fabrics? If so, do you see the same problem when it is only added to one fabric?

Best regards,
Marte

Turnning on or off light bulbs / smart plugs. In this example it’s turning on a smart plug that has been setup in.HomeKit

Hi,

What kind of actions are you setting up in the Apple Home app?

Best regards,
Marte
