HomeKit question: in 2023 is there a simple inexpensive button you can get that you can execute an action (e.g.: toggle a light?) and doesn't need a separate hub (uses Thread)?
@khaost I have one of their three button versions and I find it feels really resistant to working only in HomeKit with non-Hue lights, even though I have a bridge. Maybe I'm doing something wrong
@christianselig how did you configure them? I left them unconfigured in Hue app, and only does the setup in HomeKit, and it has been working pretty solid over the last two years.
@khaost But can you disable the Hue functionality entirely? I have it set up in HomeKit but it’s still randomly controlling a single light. It’s the four button Hue switch
@khaost Okay I think I have it figured out now, thank you! Only question now is, is there a way to make it toggle a light on or off without needing to make one button on and one button off? I can use a Shortcut, but it's so much slower
@christianselig@khaost if you use Eve or Home+ you can configure multiple actions for each button. Each action can have a conditional; if the light is off, turn it on and vice versa
@christianselig@khaost the main catch I’ve found is that the action can only target a scene rather than individual accessories. It takes a bit of effort to configure but I’ve found it to be set and forget
