ZigBee Smart Button 2 Pack - Compact 3-Way Remote Control

In this review the ZigBee Smart Button 2 Pack is evaluated as a simple, low-cost way to add physical control to a Zigbee smart home. It is aimed at users who already run a Zigbee hub and want a fuss-free scene trigger or remote for lights and devices; the single biggest reason to buy is the flexible three-action control (press, double press, hold) that maps easily to scenes or device groups. Setup is straightforward for common hubs and the battery-powered design means you can place the buttons almost anywhere.

Key Features

• Zigbee 3.0 standard: Provides low power consumption and reliable connectivity when paired with a compatible Zigbee hub.
• Three control actions: Press, double press and long press let a single button trigger different scenes or devices without extra hardware.
• Easy mounting: Includes double-sided tape and magnetic strips so the button can be wall-mounted, stuck on appliances or moved as needed.
• Long battery life: Runs on 2 AAA batteries with low power draw for an expected multi-year lifespan under normal use.
• Wide hub compatibility: Works with SmartThings, Aeotec, Hubitat, Home Assistant and Third Reality hubs for flexible integration into existing setups.
• OTA updates and HomeKit option: Supports software updates and can integrate with Apple HomeKit if used with the Third Reality Smart Bridge MZ1.

Who It's For

The ZigBee Smart Button is best for homeowners and hobbyists who already operate a Zigbee hub such as SmartThings, Hubitat or a Home Assistant coordinator and want a low-cost, portable remote to trigger scenes or control device groups. It is especially useful for kitchens, bedside tables or entryways where a quick physical control is handy.

It is not the right choice for someone without any Zigbee hub, since a separate Zigbee hub is required and sold separately, or for buyers who need battery-free or wired controls. Those who want advanced built-in automation logic or tactile premium switches may prefer higher-end wall controllers.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Requires a separate Zigbee hub, which adds cost and configuration for users without one.
• Compatibility and pairing experience can vary between hubs, so some users may need to troubleshoot integration.
