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 and ioBroker via the MQTT protocol on a local network. No cloud required.
