Smart Button, 5-Keys Smart Switch, Scene Controller, Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Automatically Trigger Accessories & Scenes-Thread (iOS 17.4 or Later is Required)

Five single-click buttons, room for fifteen actions, works on Thread or Bluetooth ... what more could you ask for?I set this up to control our bedroom fan/light. We have a (Thread-connected) controller in the canopy which allows for dimming of the light and setting the fan to various speeds. Setting up this button (center button #1 for the light, with a single click bringing it to our normal 60%, a long click bringing it up to 100%, and a double click turning it off; button 2 turn fan off; 3-5 for high, medium, and low fan speeds) was easy and intuitive via the app.PERFORMANCE: Responsiveness is good. Not "instant" like a hard-wired button would be, but about a half second between click and the light responding. Just as a note, our thread router is a HomePod Mini about ten feet and one normal (hollow) wall away from the button, and the light canopy it is controlling is another ten feet away in the center of the room. The physical proximity and thus signal strength might be a key to how well all responds.FORM/STYLE: It is a little bulky mounted on the wall, but far from terrible. It has a quality feel, feeling solid either on the wall or in hand. Doesn't really matter"go" with any decor style, so really is its own "tech" style; I suspect in 5-10 years more stylized versions will be available to replace this without standing out on the wall like a sore thumb. But, we don't live in the future, and this is about the best the present has to offer unless you're happy with a single button.THE UGLY: On the "Ugly" side, the only criticism I have is that the setup for the app says that your Homekit Hub *must* be a Thread Border Router. For us, that meant I had to designate our non-ethernet-connected Apple TV (new, but in the guest bedroom) as the Home Hub, which seems destined to cause Apple Home issues. We haven't seen any yet, but this seems like a very odd requirement that really shouldn't be the case, and hasn't been a requirement for any of the other Thread devices we have. I haven't done any experiments to see what happens if our ethernet-connected AppleTV (the general before Thread came out, so not Thread compatible) is the designated Home Hub instead so I'm not sure really what is driving this requirement for the Onvis button. This *might* be something they correct either through an app or a button firmware update in the future.One note: for a week our Eve app has been reporting that this is connected via Bluetooth instead of Thread. After looking for solutions to this, I ran across a suggestion on Reddit that said to try restarting the phone. Immediately after doing so, now the Eve app shows it as connected to Thread. I'm not sure if the issue is a cosmetic one with the Eve app (not looking at updates from the button) or the button (missing something in the Thread spec that needs to be sent out when it connects to the router etc?), or if this was a real issue with the button (meaning that it actually stayed connected to my Bluetooth until I restarted the phone ... but I've gone miles out of bluetooth range several times so that seems unlikely). In any case, it now shows up as on the Thread network.

When I first got this my first thought was how am I going to remember what 5 buttons do which 15 things? I reconfigured several times as I discovered better ways to organize the buttons. But love this thing. Bought a couple more for other areas of the house. Specifically I like that it's Matter over Thread and works well with HomeKit!

I purchased two, and will be sending both back.The HomeKit pairing process (not using their app) was perfectly fine and went as lots of other accessories would go.Setting up what single/double/hold button presses would do was also easy in the Home app, but those actions would never actually fire when pressing the buttons. I tried all different buttons and push modes, and the controlled switch or light never changed.This is not my first HomeKit device, but probably my 30th, and I’m sure my tests are not doing anything crazy. This is the happiest of happy path, and both devices never worked once.I also did give it overnight after pairing to see if some kind of update needed to happen, and even set one up with their app to make sure it wasn’t a firmware update or connectivity issue, and nothin.Super disappointed, there aren’t many of these kinds of buttons and I had high hopes for it.

I appreciate Onvis support for reaching out and being proactive. It's good to see a brand that cares about customers. Turns out the sluggishness is if the device is working over bluetooth, thread is nearly instant. Also, I was able to pair this directly with home assistant, which gives it even more functionality than home kit (works fine with homekit too).Excited to see what they can come up with next. Dimming functionality and an updated form factor would be much appreciated. Otherwise - it works fine. I like the magnetic wall mount base too.Not great, you can barley see the button markings. The shape is such that you are always checking the orientation. Its pretty thick, not very minimal. I am also not satisfied with the responsiveness. Its waiting for a double click so the single click feels laggy. Also, the hold action is hold on release, you cant do something like hold to increase brightness. For the price you are paying extra for an early adopter item.
