How it works

Always forgetting which button triggers which automation?

With Home Buttons you can assign a short label to each button.

The device uses an e-paper display, which enables the labels to be shown permanently, without consuming any power.

The labels can be changed directly in Home Assistant. You also define what happens when a button is pressed in Home Assistant.

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

Order Options

18650 battery cell holder (battery cell NOT INCLUDED). Can also be powered by USB-C without the battery inserted.
5V DC terminal connector. Can also be powered by USB-C.
Battery holder and terminal connector in the box (NOT SOLDERED - decide later and solder yourself)
Older hardware revision (2.1) with 18650 battery cell holder. Supports ONLY battery power (USB-C without the battery inserted does not work, used only for charging). Slightly slower e-paper refresh time.

Getting started

Set up you device with the help of Quick Setup Guide.

Important!

If you select the battery powered option, you need one 18650 Li-Ion battery cell (NOT INCLUDED). Please use a high quality cell with greater than 3000 mAh capacity.

Great product and great documentation.

An awesome way of having buttons with labels in home-assistant. With the current firmware adding more control from inside HA making this a the top buttons with eink display from a usability and a scriptability.

6 button controller with display

This is a really nice device featuring 6 buttons with configurable labels. It would be a great addition to be able to update the labels via an API, but even now the build quality is great and everything can be setup with little to no effort. Insert the battery and follow the instructions on the display. Well done!

Very nice!

Just what I was looking for. Comes securely packaged, quality of the device feels good and everything works as advertised. Setup was a breeze, it only took a few minutes to get it working with Home Assistant by following the setup guide. Would recommend.
