I have a number of Onvis HS-2 switches all of which I want to configure identically (5 buttons each single, double, long press x3 devices = 45 actions). Rather than configure each one individually is there a way to create some sort of "master" configuration and apply it to each switch?

May be you can try to make some blueprint

Blueprint is the simplest solution, however you can do it with templates and labels in a single automation if you are up for it

You want the same action for the same press? If so, it should not be to hard to all add them to the same automation and just use the trigger variable to select the action.

Hm I can't seem to figure it out exactly. I have a number of automatics for the actions already, that's not really an issue. My dilemma is how to avoid having to program each switch / button manually. I want a sort of "apply configure to switch" type thing.

Are you trying to just trigger the exact same actions when you press any of the buttons, or are you wanting to have button a do the actions to x, button b to do them to y, button c to z etc

Button 1 does action A
Button 2 does action B
etc.
I have 3 switches with 5 buttons each, and all 3 switches should be programmed identically
twin flame
OK. Just to clarify - a device with 5 different buttons?
A "switch" in HA is a specific thing which is different to a "button"
ancient oasis
yes, correct. device with 5 buttons
twin flame
ok, can't you just add device 1 button 1, device 2 button 2... to the same trigger?

So 3 devices with 5 buttons. And on all you want Button 1 on all devices to do the same?
What is the integration you use? Or better, what kind of entity does it expose for the button presses? Event entities?

All light switch groups
Correct - identical configs on each device
