Zigbee Wireless Mini Switch, Works with HomeKit Google Home Alexa | Smart Button Requires Aqara Hub, Versatile 3-Way Control Button for Smart Home Devices, Works with IFTTT

I've tried out several different types of buttons from many companies including the likes of IKEA and a few other companies from Amazon and they all suck compared to these. Their main issue is that they all "sleep" to try and save power so if you don't use them regularly, like multiple times a day, they'll go to sleep and you'll have to hit them twice to get a button to register. These just work. I have a button next to my front door that I have set up to turn all my lights and my TV off so I can just hit one button on my way out. I use this naturally about once a day. All the other buttons I've tried you have to hit twice. These just work like you expect. Even "worse" I have a button at my desk that turns some task lighting on at my desk if I want to get lots of light on whatever I'm working on, that button can sit idle for days or up to a week sometimes, it always just works. Unlike the listing says these are compatible with Home Assistant, you don't HAVE to use their hub. They're very simple to set up in home assistant, fairly sturdy so far I haven't had any of them fail yet. No disconnects or any issues after getting them set up. They can be a little fiddly to get connected in Home Assistant but I think that's just my setup. They're a nice size, easy to push the button, they don't look really cool or anything but in the same aspect the don't stand out either.

As I’m sure you can see from the reviews, this is a great buy. I keep buying more and more! I use some as light switches, but that’s just the beginning. The things you can program these buttons to do can be very complex. I have mine running complex lighting automations, with functions that change throughout the day in a perfectly intuitive way. I have them hidden throughout the house to serve various functions. I’ve got one on my fan, and not only can it turn the fan on and off, it can also adjust it’s speed, and it can automatically switch between two set points where I want the fan pointed. I’ve even got one set up as an emergency button for my grandma. If she presses it, the hub plays an alarm, and everyone in the family gets a Critical Alert from the Aqara iOS app, so even if we have silent mode or do not disturb on, we’ll know there’s an emergency. It even works on Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac! One of these buttons could genuinely save a life. And I can feel safe relying on them, because I have a reliable internet connection both at home and on the go. The Aqara buttons are extremely responsive. Quick, reliable, well made, cheap, highly customizable, and they work with everything you could ever hope for. Especially once Thread versions of Aqara products arrive, I’m gonna be loyal to Aqara for a long time. I just couldn’t wait for these buttons to be Thread based to do it.

We used it to write a simple automation to alert us when our toddler leaves their bedroom in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. They've just transitioned from a crib to a toddler bed so we were a bit nervous about a child roaming about unsupervised in the middle of the night. It immediately triggers the automation I wrote in Apple Home with 100% reliability in the 2 weeks we've used it so far. Highly recommended.

This is a nice switch that works well in the Aqara ecosystem. Just be aware that it is an old model. The updated model is the "T1" mini switch. It looks identical but uses the latest Zigbee 3.0 protocol as opposed to the rather old Zigbee 1.2 protocol used by this original version. The T1 version is also firmware upgradeable in the event that the Mini Switch needs to be tweaked for security or compatibility reasons. This version is not. All that said, how does this older switch work? Very well. I like the design. The shape is attractive and the button click feels good. It is precise and not mushy. It integrates into Apple Home for automations. In my case, I keep one on the nightstand next to my bed. A single click, combined with a Lutron lamp dimmer, turns on the lamp next to my bed at 10%—enough to see but not enough to wake me up if I need to get up in the middle of the night. A double-click turns on the lamp to 40%—enough to help me wake up in the morning without blasting me with light. And a long press turns the lamp off. This works without fail. No flakiness or inconsistency from the button. Would I recommend it? No, I'd recommend the newer T1 version. For just a few dollars more, you get a better, more up to date, more future proof Mini Switch. But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with this one. As of this writing, Aqara seems to have pulled the T1 version from Amazon while they blow out this older model. But the T1 version is available at Best Buy. And once the older model is sold out, I would expect to see discounts on this one. That goes for the T1 versions of the Aqara Temperature sensor, Water Leak Sensor, and Door and Window Sensor too.

The switch is made of a high-quality and durable material that is able to withstand frequent use. It is also very easy to install and use, requiring only the AQARA HUB and a few simple steps to set up. One of the standout features of the mini switch is its versatility. The switch is able to control a variety of smart home devices, including lights, fans, and appliances. It is also compatible with a variety of smart home platforms, including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, making it a convenient and flexible choice for controlling your smart home. In terms of design, it is very sleek and stylish. It has a compact and discreet design that is easy to install and blends in well with most home decor. The switch is also very easy to use, with a simple and straightforward process for controlling your devices. Overall, I recommend the switch. It is a high-quality and convenient choice that is perfect for controlling your smart home devices. The versatility and compatibility are great added bonuses, making it a reliable and practical choice for anyone.

Garbage. It does not pair. It does not factory reset. It does not connect to any zigbee hubs. I tried 3. It has ZERO instructions in the box except to connect to Aqara's native app, which most people do not want to have to do. We have 70 Zigbee devices all working perfectly to make a mesh, yet this won't connect or do anything, and like I said, there are no instructions for it anyway, other than the 2 pages OF 55 shown, so we are left to guess a lot. With 2 buttons, there aren't many options. Also the only way they thought to give us a way into the back to check or change the battery was with a COIN SLOT?? First - WHO HAS COINS? I had to dig a1 quarter out from under my clothes washer to have one. We are 2 decades out of the century where coins were antiquated already. Then they put that micro slot in soft plastic - basically putty. So there is NO WAY to turn it to open the unit. I'm about to drill into it and return it with a 8mm hole through it, just so I can test the battery. What a stupid access idea.

The device works with SmartThings it's just a pain to do. All of the KBs written are for the old SmartThings; however, I believe the solution that got mine working was the following drivers by searching Google for "Smartthings Channel obmaz" -> the first thing that shows up should be his GitHub -> From within Github you will see a URL halfway down the page that states "You can enroll the channel and install edge drivers by using invitation URL" -> From here you click the Available Drivers Icon -> wait a minute or so for the page to load -> Click Install the driver titled "zigbee-aqara-button" -> This is where the unknown nightmare of pairing starts... I believe the issue is first you need to wait a few minutes for the driver to load to your SmartThings. From the Smart Things app click the Plus button, Click Add Device, Click Searching for Devices -> From here, hold down the tiny button at the top for roughly 3 seconds the light will flash blue then let go of the tiny button, and every one thousand and one press the button and promptly let go and repeat until the device shows up. If the searching for devices times out, go back to the room where you started to add the device and make sure that the device didn't just show up. I hope this helps! Note: If you continue holding down the tiny button for too long, you will just keep resetting the device versus every one second keeping the device alive. Also, make sure that you are close to the SmartThings Hub at least 15 feet from it, and are connected to the same Wifi Network as the hub!

Update: 4 years later and this little device is still working. I’ve used it for various functions over the years. Initially, it would drop off home assistant (HA), but that has been fixed over the years as HA has evolved and improved and I updated my Zigbee controller. And while I prefer z-wave devices, I’m getting a couple more of these button switches because this one has worked out so well. You will need a Zigbee capable hub, I have a Zigbee USB controller connected to a computer running home assistant, but there are other options. ——- original review ——- So far there’s nothing to dislike about this switch, unless zigbee is a protocol that your home automation doesn’t support. It’s small, has an adhesive backing if you want to secure it somewhere, uses a common CR2032 button battery, and it works with Home Assistant (HA). My Home Assistant installation uses a HUSBZB-1 USB stick that provides both the Zigbee and Z-wave radios, and this switch works very well with it. You won't see anything but the devices battery in the HA entity listing, which is normal. However, the entity should be report the battery level percentage. In HA, the actual button press is a TRIGGER to act on something else, such as turning on a light. In my setup one of these little switches is used to control a dimming power switch that is connected to an old lamp. I configured the single press to toggle on and off, the double press to turn on full brightness, and the long press to dim to a desired level. Just use your imagination and this becomes a versatile little gadget.

Doet wat het moet doen en werkt met Homey

The Aqara Wireless Mini Switch might look like a simple little button, but in a smart home it’s basically a magic wand. Setup – quick and painless Added straight into my Aqara Hub M3 and it paired in seconds. No faffing about, no mysterious error codes, no standing on one leg while rebooting the hub. It just joined and got on with it. What it actually does This isn’t just a doorbell-style button. You get multiple actions: 👆 Single press 👆👆 Double press ⏱ Long press Each one can trigger a different automation. In my house that means lights, scenes, and other smart devices all firing off from one tiny button. It’s like a physical shortcut key for real life. Reliability So far it’s been rock solid. Press the button → stuff happens. Every time. No delays, no “device not responding,” no smart-home sulking. Battery life is great too — it sips power, so you’re not constantly changing cells. Why this is better than voice sometimes Voice control is great… until: – The TV is loud – You’ve lost your voice – You don’t want to shout commands like a wizard casting spells This little switch is instant, silent, and guest-friendly. Visitors actually understand “press this button” without a tutorial. Build & size Nice and compact, feels well made, and you can stick it pretty much anywhere. Wall, bedside table, desk — it just blends in. Verdict One of the most useful smart home gadgets I own. Cheap, reliable, and ridiculously versatile. I bought one to “try it out.” I now have several. They multiply. No regrets.

Ürünü evimde kullandığım Yale marka akıllı kapı kilidini dışarıdan açmak / telefonu evde unuttuğum da (kapı anahtar kullanımını iptal ettim) kapıyı açmak için gizli bir anahtar niyetinde kullanmak için aldım. Aqara G2Pro Kameramı Aqara ürünleri için zaten hub olarak kullanıyordum. Bu cihazıda onun üzerinden Aqara uygulamasına ekledim üzerinden kendisi zaten Homekit'e eklendi. Cihaz homekitte direk gözükmediyse kullandığınız hub hangi odada ekli ise oraya geliyor ama ana sayfada gözükmüyor. Kısacası benim gibi HomeKit için alacak olanlara sorunsuz çalıştığını söyleyebilirim. Tek, çift ve uzun basış özellikleri var.

L’Aqara Interruttore è uno di quei dispositivi che, una volta installati, diventano indispensabili. È piccolissimo, si può posizionare ovunque (muro, comodino, scrivania) e la risposta ai comandi è immediata, merito della connessione Zigbee. La vera forza è la gestione a 3 azioni (click singolo, doppio e pressione prolungata), che permette di controllare più dispositivi o scene con un solo pulsante. Io lo uso per luci, automazioni e scene rapide, ed è sempre preciso e affidabile. Richiede l’hub Aqara (non supporta hub di terze parti), ma una volta inserito nell’ecosistema funziona in modo impeccabile con homeassistant e nelle automazioni Aqara. La batteria dura davvero tanto e non richiede manutenzione. In uso quotidiano è stabile, non perde mai la connessione e rende la smart home molto più intuitiva. Un accessorio semplice ma estremamente efficace: 5 stelle meritatissime.

No sabría vivir sin el botón. Tiene tres modos lo puedes configurar cada uno a su manera y para lo que quieras
