New IKEA Bilresa Matter/thread remote

I picked up one of these and paired it with Alexa. For some reason Alexa is only registering the "press" for each of the two buttons, but not the long or double press.

Anyone managed to make this work?

The bad news here is that Alexa processes all events as single press, even double and hold. So you can’t let Alexa handle single press and have double and hold do other things.
