There are many conceivable ways to map 54edo onto the onto the Lumatone keyboard. However, it has 2 mutually-exclusive rings of fifths, so the Standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean is not one of them.
Diatonic
You can use the b val, but it is very flat, to the point where major seconds become 10/9 instead of 9/8.
Diaschismic
Despite having a smaller range, the diaschismic mapping makes it much easier to play harmonics together.
Nessafof (Porwell)
Bryan Deister has used the Nessafof (Porwell) layout for 54edo, as demonstrated in microtonal improvisation in 54edo (2025). At 7\54, the generator is a near-just septimal neutral second (~35/32), of which 2 make a slightly flat minor third ~6/5 (constituted in 54b), and 11 make a sharp ~8/3 (which corresponds to the 54b flat fifth). The 7L 1s scale (with a step ratio of 7:5) is expanded similar to the expanded Lumatone mapping for porcupine if represented as 7L 1s, but even more expanded. On the one hand, this makes octaves recede rapidly; but on the other hand, this also means that down and right gives a convenient ascending whole tone scale shared with 12edo, although this requires constituting the ~9/8 whole steps as (3♭ × 3♯) / 8. The range is four full octaves.
