+{% note %}
+The Home Assistant Matter updates currently do not work for Thread devices on a Thread network with (any) Apple border routers. Typically you'll see "Target node did not process the update file" error instead. The Apple border routers do not forward the necessary mDNS packets which allow to discover the update provider on Home Assistant end. The Apple Home ecosystem might offer updates from their end as an alternative (e.g. for Eve devices).

To learn how to create an automation triggered by a button press, refer to this [tutorial](/integrations/event/#automating-on-a-button-press).
