The problem I’ve had with these buttons is they go to sleep! They do nothing and then I open up the Home app and they wake up and do the thing.

I’m glad most of my smart lights are Philips Hue because they have a whole ecosystem of buttons, remotes, etc that work perfectly with minimal setup.

it’s Amazon’s fault for giving bad support for a great, inexpensive button

Alexas integration is horrific. The button loses connection aaaaaall the time. The cooler button + dial has the potential to be a super button and Alexa dumbed down to allow for only three functions!!! The problem is Alexa.

It is really silly but the best way to figure your thread network credentials out is to add a Nanoleaf device to the thread network, then you can get the thread details from the Nanoleaf app. I got the cheapest Nanoleaf thread thing I could on eBay and did this.

I loved the button and was looking for an option that wouldn't require me to buy into a ZigBee ecosystem for a very long time. It connected fine and was easy just to find out that google automations don't support Matter buttons, much less scroll wheels. One would think tha buttons, the simplest interaction type of thing to work with automations but no, Google doesn't think you need them apparently

So what you're saying here is that it has nearly nothing to do with IKEA or their $6 button, but the underlying protocol pushed by a bunch of big tech companies when we already had platforms like IFTTT that worked
