Xiaomi Aqara buttons work perfectly for me

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

are they powered?

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

Nah

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

this is for a desk basically, not going to move

#

I'm a lazy fuck who will not stand up

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

I get years of battery life out of them

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

hmm ok

#

So... mostly yes

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

Lol, fucking xiaomi

#

I'm sure there's some difference

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

If you want something bigger then https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WXKG16LM.html works really well too

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

no, i don't care about size, just looking for a cheap button that i can tap and double tap for toggling lights

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

Then the little buttons are fine for that

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

Thanks!

#

I'll give it a whirl

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

Something like https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TERNCY-SD01.html would allow you to turn on/off and also control the brightness 😉

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:49 PM

#

what site do you normally use?

#

to purchase

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 4:49 PM

#

AliExpress for most of it - saves a fortune

#

There's a few things it's as cheap to buy from Amazon or a dedicated local supplier

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

yeah, we don't really have that in the states

#

it's amazon or aliexpress for anything smart

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

I'm surprised... given that the UI has a bunch of (online) sellers of smart gear I'd have expected the US to have a few hundred

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

zwave has a few distributors that I use that aren't them, was hoping zigbee had something similar

#

there's no 'local suppliers' that I know of

#

then again, I'm only near a city with 200k peeps

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

Local is all relative... my "local" suppliers are mostly hundreds of miles away

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

ah yes

#

I can buy the chips 🤣

#

silicon labs is in my city

#

well a distributor for them is

#

but not the finished products

kind badger Dec 4, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

you can't find those terncy's in the states at all

tawdry remnant Dec 4, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

I could only get them from Ali
