Good product. Uses Cr2450 battery, not CR2.
First, the battery called out in the product description, CR2, is NOT accurate. The button uses a CR2450 (see photo attached of my delivered unit). I expect this is a typo and not a change in the design (based on the size of the button and difficulty of fitting a CR2 into this form factor). Not sure if I missed this somewhere in another review or not.Second, this button works very well. It has a nice positive feedback feel when pressed. It paired very easily with the Smartthings hub. The process had quite a number of steps, but none were difficult. I wish this was z-wave so it would mesh with the other z-wave devices I have, but it seems to have good range and works all around the ~3000 sq ft, 2 story house, including the attached garage.The use case: I use it on an end table in our living room as a way to adjust a set of lights (by setting a scene), toggle power on our kitchen lights (which are frequently left on by accident while we are in the other room) and turning off all of a group’s lights (again, by setting another scene). This is much quicker than getting my phone out, opening ST app, finding the favorite and running it. It is also faster than asking Alexa to complete the task as there’s no time spent waiting for me to spit out the request.I will very likely buy another one for use as a remote switch in the basement work area. The three functions would likely toggle an outlet’s power (for running whatever tool is plugged in, typically a shop vac), turning some task specific lights on/off, third would be available for expansion later. This would function as a remote switch for the tool (likely shop vac) so I wouldn’t have to be next to it to flip the switch and can use the long hose away from the canister. This is typically used for cleaning up at the drill press, workbench or other location without having to move the whole vacuum to each location or walk over to the switch. It is also quieter when it’s not right next to you and the exhaust doesn’t blow stuff where you don’t want it. First world problems, I know.I will probably purchase a set of rechargeable CR2450 cells and charger if I purchase additional buttons.Drawbacks:-The button cell likely doesn’t last as long as the CR2 that was specified in the product description would have. This may not be too bad of an issue based on usage.-The way this button pushes, it wouldn’t work well if you carried it around in your pocket. It would likely inadvertently push if you moved around, bent over, etc. Not a design flaw, just is a result of the way the button case moves with respect to the housing.-Wish there was a z-wave option, but this is very nitpickyBottom line: good product, would buy it again as it works well.TL;DR: Uses CR2450 battery, good product, good range, works as expected

It’s reliable
We keep it about nine feet away from a Samsung SmartThings Station. And it’s always fast and responsive.

Great Little Button for Remote Control
We installed a hot water recirculating pump in our house that only runs when we turn it on (so it doesn’t waste heat, but we have hot water in our master bathroom, which is far away from the water heater, when we want it, err, at least within about two minutes of when we want it), and most of the time we turn it on via Alexa, but if one of us gets up early before the other, we wanted a way to silently but remotely turn on the pump too. This button solves that. It just sits in one of our bathroom drawers, and you simply open the drawer, hit the button, and a few minutes later we have instant hot water as soon as we turn on the faucet. So far, it is has worked flawlessly, and it was easy to setup.

Works well with SmartThings hub but not with another Zigbee hub
I was hoping to use this with another brand of Zigbee hub. It worked fine with an original Aeotec SmartThings hub, but when used on a third-party hub, it was difficult to get connected, and didn’t expose any programmable actions (single/multi-click, etc.) like it did with SmartThings, so it wasn’t as useful to me. I am giving 4 stars since it does what it’s designed for and has high quality fit and finish, but I’m deducting one star due to being overpriced, and similar generic Zigbee buttons can be had for about half the price.

Hub supports roof heat tape operation in winter, avoiding damage from snow and ice accumulation.
The Aeotec Hub receives an internet signal from in-home router and translates that signal into Bluetooth commands for an external device that powers a roof-installed, heat tape (cable) system. Heat tape along the roof edge and inside gutters prevents ice-dam formation under eaves of a home from repeated melt and freeze cycles that could eventually penetrate the home interior as damaging water intrusion.This Hub device is an essential component of many integrated, remote-controlled, internet-based systems. The current product works as advertised and, to date, has been operationally reliable and effective during winter snow events. Icicle formations are minimized and melted snow along roof edges directs water into gutter downspouts for distribution away from the house.

Works great
Pretty easy to add to the hub and set up actions. I set up different actions for the 3 different presses you can do (single, double, and long press).

Slightly defective
Eventually got the button working with Hubitat, the device is way too expensive for what it is, there are plenty of better / cheaper options available.The form factor is nice, smaller then I was expecting, and the build quality of the plastic housing was great. The problem I had was with the battery and its contacts. Rather then using a standard con cell battery contacts (usually in the form of strips of metal, the battery compartment used thin wire, one wire for contacting bottom of the battery (-) and a small bit of wire on the side contacting the side of the battery (+). The battery was also held on to the cover of the battery compartment. The combination of these design elements proved the downfall as there was not enough good contact with the battery of the unit to power on out of the box with the battery tab removed. This proved frustrating as there is no indication of its lack of power aside from a led on the top of the button, this lead to a frustrating experience getting the device to pair. Eventually between using my volt meter and visual inspection with magnifying glass I found the side contact would not make good contact with the battery. The magnets holding the battery pulled it away from the contact, and also prevented the simple solution of using some paper to push the battery in contact with the contact, instead I had to re-bend the out word to make good contact with the battery, of course this took several iterations as too much bending could cause the contacts to snap. Eventually I got it working, and once the device was powered correctly it was easily paired with Hubitat.

Me encanta. Es compatible con Smartthings y alexa. Puedes configurar tres tipos de Clicks, cada uno para asignarlo a un dispositivo, rutina o escena que tengas configurado. El botón cuenta con un sensor de temperatura. Muy recomendable!
