I bought 3 of them to start building a smarter home. I haven't fully utilized them yet, as they have 6-7 programmable functions in Home Assistant (single, double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, and frenzy tap - if I remember correctly, and Long press - programmable both pressing and releasing the switch). I combined it with the https://www.skroutz.gr/s/38507981/Sonoff-ZBdongle-E-Smart-Hub-Symvato-me-Alexa-Google-Home-Mayro.html and it works incredibly well. (the dongle needs a firmware update for the switch to work properly). With a nice refurbished nuc from ebay, I have set up a nice server and everything is going well. The switch is extremely good value for money.
Direct connection to Home Assistant via a Sonoff USB Zigbee (https://www.skroutz.gr/s/38507981/Sonoff-ZBdongle-E-Smart-Hub-Symvato-me-Alexa-Google-Home-Mayro.html). I haven't connected it to Xiaomi's hub, but through Zigbee it offers 6 different ways of control in HA (single, double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, and multiple press with long hold). Depending on your scenarios, with just one you can control up to 6 different devices or scenarios!
Classic Xiaomi button has never let me down! It works on both European and Chinese servers (very important) and it is compatible with all mi home hubs (I have 3 and it connects to all of them). It is quick in response. It has a total of 3 functions: Click, double click, and long press.
My first one, I bought it in 2016 and until today (07/2023) its battery has not run out...
The design is minimal and very beautiful, just the way I want it for my space.
If I add them all up, I might have a total of 6 scattered around the house for various functions.
I have tried it on Google home without success yet.
I bought two Xiaomi switches at the best market price. The product works perfectly.
To help those who have an issue with the application. By setting the language to German in the application, you can create automation scenes.
A small issue that will be fixed in the future.
Perfect... I would say if I could work it on something. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi application has not been working for quite some time, resulting in most of the products with automations being useless.
The connection through Xiaomi Home is very easy. I have 4 inside the house and I have created various scenarios depending on the button press.
Small discreet and user-friendly, easy to install and adjust, you necessarily need to have the xiaomi hub for it to work. The 3 operating options it offers are convenient: Single click, Double Click, and Long press click, allowing you to assign different functions to each option.
This is my 4th switch of this kind. I already had three of them for a while and I decided to get another one.
As for the construction, it's great! It works perfectly fine and the price is also great! I highly recommend it!
Personally, I would like it to have more features, such as:
It only has 3 types of control: single press, double press (in a row), and long press. I mean, usually these 3 types of control are enough for a switch. However, I don't see the reason why one should be limited to only these three types of control when it could easily have more, for example, more than 2 consecutive presses.
The design is nice and minimal! However, I would like to be able to find it in smaller and larger sizes, as well as in different colors or with different designs. I don't think it would be so "strange" for them to offer these options.
Its communication is only wireless and only through a Xiaomi Control hub, using Zigbee technology. On one hand, this makes it very lightweight and compact, but on the other hand, it makes it exclusively for use with the Xiaomi Home app. It is not "visible" (as a home smart device) in the broader smart home ecosystem (Google Home, Alexa, etc.). I should mention that this "communication approach" is the same for other Xiaomi devices, such as motion sensors, etc.
The way it opens to change its battery (which fortunately doesn't need to be done frequently for each switch) is good, but only if the switch is attached somewhere (with the provided adhesive for its base). However, when it is freely resting on something else (which is convenient in many cases - for example, I find it convenient to have all four of my switches like that), it is quite difficult to detach the base from the switch! The detachment is done by lightly rotating the base, but it doesn't provide easy grip points (since it can only be held from below and without distinct slots to counter the rotation) while it attaches quite tightly there! Trying to use tools (such as screwdrivers, etc.) as leverage makes it very easy to injure both fingers and the soft gray plastic of the base. Personally, I manage by temporarily and provisionally attaching it somewhere so that I can rotate it there (since the base will be stuck there) and then, after changing the battery, carefully detach the base again to reattach it. I should mention that this "technique" is the same for other Xiaomi devices, such as motion sensors, etc.
Finally... although it is not directly related to this particular product as it mainly concerns the Xiaomi Home app, I think it is necessary to mention that the process of creating or maintaining the "rules" provided for controlling and automating Xiaomi devices through the Xiaomi Home app has become very problematic. For quite some time now, there has been a general issue with the Xiaomi Home app that does not allow this management. In practical terms, it is not possible for someone to create new rules. However, all the (existing) previous rules still work correctly, but it is not possible to create new ones!!! So if someone buys a new device like this and (what's more logical) wants to set up some automation rules for it... practically they won't be able to!!!
They may be able to, but with "tricks" that are completely inconvenient! Tricks like running the Xiaomi Home app from an Android emulator or having the environment of the Xiaomi Home app (e.g. the installation on your phone) set to... German (Deutsch) language (so NOT in English-Greek, anyway, the Xiaomi Home app doesn't even have it)!!! Unbelievable but true 100%!
However, I still recommend it as a choice for purchase and use despite the negatives I have identified.
All these "many" (in the end) for such a small & cheap yet very useful smart peripheral.
I hope I helped some people who are interested in it and may not have known all these details.
* Addition on Wednesday 7/12/2022:
I considered it quite useful to add that -finally- Xiaomi fixed this issue in the (Android) Xiaomi Home app and -oh miracle!- everything seems to be working correctly again regarding the inability to create new rules for its smart devices!!!
I noticed this on my phone after installing its latest update yesterday (on the 7th of the month) and I must say that I was very happy about it because it is an extremely useful feature that had essentially been canceled for quite some time without any official announcement.
Instead of adding this comment, it might have been preferable for some to simply remove the mention I had made and it would be as if I had never made it. However, I judged that on the one hand it would not be very fair if I did it that way and on the other hand it is better for others to know about such "missteps" of the company, even if they were eventually fixed.
Easy connection and installation. 3 functions for automations and scenes. The only downside is that the battery is difficult to change in the future when it runs out. At least that's the impression it gives.
Particularly user-friendly. The Hub is required for it to work. I see no reason why someone who wants to control their smart Xiaomi devices with an affordable switch wouldn't get it.
- Practical, lightweight
- Works with home-assistant (not as an entity but as a device with long-press & double --> triple events)
Although it was my own stupidity that I didn't read that it needs a hub, since I bought a hub as well, I have found it very useful.
I don't have a switch near the bed, only at the entrance of the room... I don't know how I managed without it all these years!!
You can control 3 lights with the correct settings through the app, which is absolutely perfect for not waking you up when it turns on.
Good and easy to connect, but xiaomi needs a better APP with more customization options for this particular product.
It hardly ever catches the first click. And the Gateway is right next to it.
*After a few days, it started working great! It has been about two months now and it works perfectly 99% of the time!
It's fine.
It works instantly and the feeling of the click is not bad.
It connects easily with Mi Home
Ideal for when you don't want to change switches, or when you want multiple things to happen together.
For example, I have one for the lights in the house (turn on, turn off) when I'm working, another for sleep mode, etc.
Flawless switch. Zero response time with the smart hub. It has a huge delay and sometimes fails to connect with HomeKit. I recommend automations in the Xiaomi application.
The sticker on the body of the switch instead of a base and the difficult opening for battery replacement are its only negatives
Connection in zero time. VERY high-quality plastic, fast response to commands with a nice "click" feeling. It seems like we're stealing from Xiaomi straight up. CAUTION! It ONLY works with a hub. For battery replacement: The sticker is on the base that sticks to the wall. To change the battery, simply turn the body counterclockwise (it requires some force), you will hear a loud "click" and after changing the battery, attach the body to the base with a slight push and turn it right. You will hear another click and you're ready.
Update 1/9/2021: Today, after just a few months, not even 1 year, the long press of one of the 6 switches stopped working. I thought it was a battery issue. I changed the battery but then the switch stopped working altogether. I tried 3 different compatible batteries, obviously CR2032 3V, but nothing. For some reason, it does NOT work if you change the battery. I put the old one back and it works except for the long press. I deduct 2 stars, so we go from 5 to 3. For the money, almost 8 months... not even close!
Update 10/9/2021: The switch works again on long press. It was actually a software issue. Many bugs in the past few days. Magnets disconnect, buttons stop working... I keep the 3 stars as a punishment and we'll see!
Update 26/10/2021: Whatever, Xiaomi. The switches work whenever they want, not whenever they should. Their sensitivity has also changed. Long press and double press still don't work. Let's move towards getting rid of them. I'm tired!
Update 31/1/2022: I started transitioning to the Tuya ecosystem with switches and bulbs from various brands. This particular Xiaomi switch is excellent in terms of construction and at a good price when you get it for under 10 euros, but Xiaomi is very tiring with the occasional bugs and server crashes. Another reason to switch to Tuya, which is preparing an update for Home Assistant that will work without the internet.
Very good WiFi switch with three adjustable touch functions through the Xiaomi app (Xiaomi home).
You can control all the smart automations of the smart home (as long as they are Xiaomi or Aquara) one by one or all together.
There must be a smart hub for it to work, without it, it cannot connect to the system
Excellent wireless switch XIAOMI for automations for the smart home convenience at all levels I recommend it! It's worth it!
Tremendous convenience to avoid opening your phone every time you want to flash a light. It also supports scenes. It requires a hub to work.
If you want to control a smart home (xiaomi) in a simple way, it is an ideal choice, essentially simplifying the routines you create. Very good value for money, I have bought a couple for future use
Very good for its price. I use it in an OpenHab automation system (on a Raspberry Pi). It is very useful that it recognizes up to 4 presses (it recognizes them as multiple if there are 5 or more). It also recognizes the duration of the press and gives you the time it was pressed after releasing the button. It also has a very fast response. Very good battery.
Verified purchase
Excellent product!!!
Excellent zigbee button at a very good price

Ask for the productΜόλις αγορά 3 διακόπτες τους έκανα pair με το mi home(εχω και hub) αλλά πατώντας το κουμπί δε συμβαίνει απολύτως τίποτα. Η κάνω κάτι λάθος η κάτι άλλο συμβαίνει. Μπορεί κάποιος να δώσει τα φώτα του;
Το έχεις ρυθμίσει στους αυτοματισμούς να κάνει κάτι; Π.χ. αν έχεις μια λάμπα μπορεί να την ανάψει...
Η αν έχεις το hub με τη σειρήνα, μπορείς να το βάλεις να ενεργοποιήσει τον συναγερμό σου. Δεν παίζει από μόνο του, πρέπει να το ρυθμίσεις, τι θέλεις να κάνει....
Γίνεται να πραγματοποιηθεί αυτοματισμός με συσκευή που δεν αντιστοιχεί στο υπάρχον hub δηλαδή να πατάς μία φορά και να ανοίγει μία λάμπα η μία πρίζα άλλης εταιρείας όπως είναι η tapo plug;
Μόνο αν κάνεις κάποια έξτρα λύση με κάποιο μικρό pc/server/nuc/raspberry pi για να σηκώσεις Home Assistant οικοσύστημα. Εκεί μπορείς να συνδυάσεις σχεδόν τα πάντα με φυσικά πολλές περισσότερες λειτουργίες και πραγματάκια που μπορείς να κάνεις.
γίνεται στο if του automation στο mi home app να διαλέξεις το switch κ με βάση αυτό να διαλέξεις να τρέξει ένα άλλο automation (scene)?
Εχω smart λάμπες και smart πρίζα της Tp-link συνδεδεμένα με το Google Home app. Αν πάρω αυτόν τον διακόπτη μαζί με hub μπορώ να το συνδέσω στο Google Home app και να κλείνω τις λάμπες Tp-Link η την πρίζα μέσω αυτοματισμού στο Google Home?
