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

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.

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.

Connected directly to Home Assistant via Conbee II zigbee dongle without Aqara hub. Simple to connect, works a treat. I’m not sure i would choose this brand without HA but for this purpose they are a great option compared to more expensive brands.

The Aqara Wireless Mini Switch is a game-changer when it comes to smart home control. Its compact design and wireless functionality make it incredibly convenient to use. I love how easy it is to set up and connect to my smart devices. However, one downside is that it doesn't function as a direct switch in HomeKit. To turn a light on and off, a shortcut needs to be created, resulting in a slight delay in response. The battery life is impressive, ensuring long-lasting performance. Overall, the Aqara Wireless Mini Switch is a must-have for anyone looking to add seamless control to their smart home setup!

The switch works great for my smart home as I use it as a way to quickly disarm the guard system if I'm quickly popping out to put the bins out, having the three different functions brings many ideas to mind with how else I'm going to use it. A great bonus is that it also looks very sleek and fits in with other aqara products

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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