Home Buttons


How It Works

Home Buttons lets you control you smart home in a simple and intuitive way.
With a couple of push buttons, you can set scenes, control lights, trigger automations, and more.

The device features an e-paper display that shows a label for each button. So you always know what it does!
All while consuming next to no power.

The labels and button actions can be easily configured directly in Home Assistant.

Home Buttons communicates via the MQTT protocol on a local network. No cloud required.

It's also possible to use Home Buttons without Home Assistant. It can be integrated into most smart home systems that support MQTT, though some features may not be available.
