Looking for a new hardware switch

Jschuetz

Hey guys my girlfriend hates everything about smart home and she hates it to have to talk with Alexa or Siri for enabling the bath mode. And that's the reason why i need your help. I am looking for a good hardware switch to set my bath mode on/off. 

My requirements:
-Should work very good with homey or via http
-Needs a good range ( between homey and the switch are 5-10 m with 2 walls)
-The battery should work over a long time without changes

I think it should be a solution like Logitech pop (i don't know much about the range) or z-wave, zigbee.

Maybe someone of you could help me with their experience !!!

I have one of these (4 switch). Looks nice on my wall in the bathroom. Did work great with vera and zipato. And I expect soon with Homey

You can also use 'The Button' that switches on and off depending on it's current state. Or pres it once for on and twice for off.

I use to enable the bath here mode a Samsung remote on my Logitech Harmony. Works good too and you have a lot more buttons. But if talking to a speaker/Homey is too much work maybe aiming to a remote is too.

If you are considering the Button, there is a new kid in the block.. personally I like it more than the Button:

App will be in the App Store after the weekend

or the Remotec Scene Master to set more modes / moods....

Looks good except that big usb(?) port on the side. A little cheaper too.

I can't help myself thinking about 'Private Henk' every time I see this name

Well the "big" micro USB connector is also a reference for the size of the button... 

In the meantime I submitted the Hank app to the app store, see also the forum topic

I use Hue tabs, no power needed. You can configure 4 buttons.
