Wireless Mini Switch, Requires AQARA HUB, Zigbee Connection, Versatile 3-Way Control Button for Smart Home Devices, Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Smart Switch Works with IFTTT

I’ve bought a few of these buttons for around our house to make sure everyone has the ability to use key smart home bits without having to have their phones out and handy and/or be connected to our smart home. Highly recommend! We’ve never had any issues with their connectivity. Super easy to set up. We use with AppleHome and it can control anything in our home so not just limited to Aqara products. I love that there are multiple options of button presses so the button can do more than one thing if you want it to. I think they’re really good value, especially for the reliability and use with so many other products. They’re also nice and small, discrete and simple for everyone to use.

I have a few of these mini switches dotted around my home, all connected to Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT. They are really versatile little buttons with three built in actions: single press, double press, hold (and release separately). My main use for these is to use the hold action to turn on a device like a lamp/s or ceiling fan, and then single and double presses to increase or decrease the brightness/speed. That way one discrete button can control all the commonly used functions. I recently had to replace the as-shipped battery in one that is used a couple of times a day for just over a year, so not bad. You can monitor the battery status remotely and set up alerts to warn you when it is below 1/3rd.

I have a number of Smart Home items - all lighting is Philips Hue using a ZigBee network and a Philips Hue Hub, and other sensors (temp, humidity, lighting levels, door & window sensors, smart sockets etc) use the WiFi network. All of this runs via Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 4. I needed a simple way of toggling some items on or off without asking Alexa to do it. After much research, I came across this small button. I went with ZigBee, rather than a WiFi-based solution as ZigBee is supposed to be more power efficient, and provide greater battery longevity and I had a ConBee II USB stick on the Raspberry Pi which could pick up the ZigBee network. It is straightforward to set up in Home Assistant. I installed ZHA integration first (it will work with DeConz and Zigbee2MQTT too) and then I just removed the small, plastic insulating tab from the mini-switch which enabled the battery to connect. A long press on the small reset switch on the top of the unit whilst the ZHA integration in Home Assistant was scanning and it popped up on my screen in about a second. I saved the settings, and then it was a simple case of adding automation in HA to allow it to do what I wanted. HA also shows the battery level as a percentage too - handy!! I only set up a simple toggle on/off to operate a remote smart plug. It appears (in HA at any rate) that there are three modes of operation which can be recognised and assigned. 1. Single press - working great 2. Quick double-press - not tried 3. Long press - not tried The flexibility of use within HA is down to the imagination of the user. So far (a couple of days in) I am impressed with this little switch. It is quite unobtrusive, and a useful addition to a smart home set-up that requires simple control functions. Would I buy another one?? Yes, without question, if and when the need arises, and from my experience of Home Assistant it is probably easier to set up than the similarly priced TRADFRI ZigBee-based, shortcut button from IKEA.

Stays connected 95% of the time, but overall does what I need it to do, good quality item.

The Aqara Wireless Mini Switch is the ninja of smart home gadgets. It's so discreet and unassuming, you might just forget it's there—until you need to turn off the lights without getting out of your cosy bed, that is. With a tap, double-tap, or a long press, it leaps into action, controlling your smart devices like a well-trained tech butler. And with its Zigbee connection, it responds faster than a cat chasing a laser pointer. Just make sure to keep it away from actual ninjas; they might mistake it for a new-fangled throwing star.

This has been a reliable button for the past few years. I attached it to my wife's bedside table and one click now closes all the bedroom blinds and sets the lights to her favourite relaxing scene. In the morning, a double click opens all the bedroom blinds again! Simple, easy to use, super reliable and integrates nicely with HomeKit too!

Grabbed the Aqara Wireless Mini Switch to pair with my HomeKit setup and it’s turned out to be one of those “why didn’t I get this sooner?” bits of kit. Setup was instant — added it to the Aqara hub and it popped up in Apple Home straight away. No drama, no random disconnects. It just sits there quietly doing its job. What I love is how flexible it is. Single press, double press, long press… you can map each one to whatever you like. I’m using mine to control lights and a couple of scenes, and it’s so much nicer than digging into the app or asking Siri when I just want something quick. Can be setup to run anything you need. It’s tiny, super lightweight, and I imagine the battery will last ages. You can stick it pretty much anywhere or just leave it loose on the bedside table. If you’re building out a HomeKit/Matter setup, this is a cheap little upgrade that makes the whole system feel more natural to use. Really happy with it.

I bought this to control some lights. It does this fine with the help of Home Assistant. I had hoped to Bind this to the lights directly so that it all happens in Zigbee without the need of a separate server to link the "switch pressed" event to the "switch on lights" action - a technique called "Binding". Very surprised it's not supported in a switch like this.

Doet wat het moet doen en werkt met Homey

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 Mini Interruttore Wireless si rivela un dispositivo versatile e ben progettato per chi desidera automatizzare la propria casa in modo semplice e intuitivo, a patto di rispettare alcuni requisiti tecnici. Pro: • Versatilità nelle impostazioni di controllo: Grazie alle tre modalità programmabili (pressione singola, doppia e pressione prolungata), è possibile personalizzare le azioni per accendere/spegnere dispositivi o attivare scene complesse. • Compatibilità con Apple HomeKit e altre piattaforme: Una volta collegato all’hub Aqara, il dispositivo si integra perfettamente con Apple HomeKit, Google Home e Alexa, ampliando le possibilità di utilizzo. • Funzione di pulsante d’emergenza: Un tocco utile per la sicurezza domestica. In caso di necessità, il pulsante può inviare notifiche o attivare l’allarme sull’hub Aqara. • Design compatto e leggero: Con dimensioni di 45 x 45 x 12 mm, si adatta facilmente a qualsiasi ambiente senza risultare ingombrante. • Modalità campanello: Offre un’ulteriore utilità, con una selezione di suonerie configurabili tramite l’app. Contro: • Dipendenza dall’hub Aqara: L’interruttore richiede obbligatoriamente un hub Aqara (venduto separatamente) e non supporta hub di terze parti, limitando la flessibilità per chi possiede ecosistemi differenti. • Prossimità necessaria: Il dispositivo funziona solo se posizionato entro una distanza limitata (circa 10 metri) dall’hub Aqara. Questo può rappresentare una sfida in abitazioni di grandi dimensioni. • Configurazione iniziale complessa per alcuni utenti: È necessario assicurarsi che l’hub e il router condividano la stessa rete locale e che il Wi-Fi sia a 2,4 GHz, il che potrebbe complicare l’installazione per chi non ha familiarità con la tecnologia. • Durata della batteria: Anche se non specificata, i dispositivi wireless come questo possono necessitare di frequenti sostituzioni della batteria a seconda dell’utilizzo. I conclusione l’Aqara Mini Interruttore Wireless è una scelta eccellente per chi ha già un ecosistema Aqara o sta iniziando a costruirne uno. Offre funzionalità avanzate e utili per semplificare la gestione della casa, ma è importante considerare i limiti legati alla dipendenza dall’hub Aqara e alla configurazione iniziale. L’acquisto su Amazon si è rivelato impeccabile: spedizione rapida, prodotto ben confezionato e assistenza post-vendita puntuale. Consigliato a chi cerca un prodotto affidabile e versatile per la propria smart home!

Great and straightforward to set up. Very much plug and play

Ce bouton s’intègre parfaitement et remplit sa fonction. La compatibilité avec Apple Home est excellente. Il est possible de configurer trois actions : appuis longs, appuis courts et double appuis. Cependant, il est important de noter que le Aqara HUB (ou la caméra G5 PRO, qui en intègre un) est indispensable pour son utilisation. L’installation est simple et le remplacement de la pile est rapide et facile.
