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

Very easy to set up in the Aqara app and create automations. If you go this route, you can ONLY add and control other Aqara devices. If you have an Aqara Matter hub, like the M3, you can also add and control non-Aqara Matter devices.But there is a workaround. Adding it to Home Assistant with the Zigbee2MQTT integration makes it much more powerful and useful. (DOH, the Zigbee!) When you do so, all the button entities (push, double push, hold, release) are exposed to Home Assistant. You can control ALL Home Assistant devices and automations with it then. I don't know why they don't advertise this. (OK, they want to sell hubs so there's that.)Very cool little gizmo. For example, I've set one up for my wife with a "going to bed" automation, so that a single push turns off all downstairs lights, sets two LED strips to 10% as nightlights, and turns on the hall light so she can head upstairs to bed without being in the dark. (A double push turns ON all downstairs and outside lights. In case the hears a noise or something.) I love these things. I have 5 of them. And I have the Cube too, I just can't find a use for it. But it was $23 so I had to have one. LOL. Integrates into HA exactly the same as the button.If you have other Aqara devices, you'll love this thing. If you run HA you'll REALLY love this thing.

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.

Easy to setup. I like having a physical switch for certain things.

Set up easily in Home Assistant under Zigbee2MQTT (also works with ZHA). I used a blueprint for easier config. The blueprint offered single-press, double-press, hold, release and 4-press. This button only has single-, double- and hold.Looks like Aqara made several versions of this button, even though they all have the same model number. So you have no idea what you’re going to get, until you try to config it in Home Assistant.Even though I can only program the switch to do 3 things, it’s still a great value for the price. I like having 1 button programmed to turn off all lights in the house. It’s a great way to control automations.

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.
