Hi, thanks, great answer!
Then it is as i suspected, only decent working With its intented purpose.
But as ive only ordered one, and yet to recieve, i still didnt know, but had my hopes
Will follow Your link further, thanks again.
Daer community, as my first post, I want to thank you all for all this guidance so far.
I spent a long hours searching for simiar : Push button that is low cost that works with SmartThings Hub. To share, I thought best idea ever is hacking the āAmazon Dash buttonā. It works with Wifi, can send notification and is only 3 or 4 USD for those installed in the US. Hacking videos show great hacks about it.
Apart from this, next cheapest option would be to get a doorbell button which works with bluerooth
The āStoneā, at 20 USD ( works with bluetooth) seems a great idea. BUt I donā tknow if it can easily pair with SmartThings
Hakem,
An alternative I just tried and it works. Get a simple wired door bell button type device, wire the terminals to one of the monopriced or cheap door window sensors that has terminal connectors and voila. Pushing the doorbell closes the circuit and the door sensor toggles open to close. Now I need to go find a nice door bell button that can be put into a decora face plate and gang box
Thatās actually a pretty cool idea. I mean, it requires having a PC running scrapy on it, or some form of packet sniffing program that can do something when a certain packet is picked up. But if someone can perfect the art of hacking Amazon buttonsā¦that might be a cool alternative.
I hope Iām not doing anything wrong by bringing back an old threadā¦ but looks like there isnāt a solution to what the OP was looking for yet. A single push button battery operated switch. If anyone has new insights, that would be great!
The reason I would like something like this is because I automated my window blinds- and because of the way the motor attaches to the blinds, I had to remove the rod which takes away manual control. A SmartThings push button that is battery powered would complete my setup.
Since this thread was started, multiple devices have come to market that can work. Most obvious is the Iris Smart Button, but there are others as well.
The Iris looks like a perfect fit assuming the device type code doesnāt have any issues. Gonna try this tonight. Thanks!
Lots of people using it, itās a very popular device because of its price and form factor. The only ongoing complaints have been that if you donāt use it a lot, it sometimes goes to sleep, so you may have to press it twice the first time you use it in a while.
Iām looking for a push button that can act as a door bell.
Iām hoping this can then trigger my z-wave siren with itsā doorbell sound.
Has anyone done anything similar?
Many people.
