Wireless push-buttons with the Thread protocol, that can also be customized: The German online shop Smattex (link) has discovered this currently unfilled gap in the market. The configurator on the company’s website allows users to personalize a four-way switch and a small remote control. There is a choice of four wood veneers in maple, oak, cherry and walnut. In addition: 145 symbols from the smart home environment that illustrate the application area. The large buttons on the wall switch can also be labeled with text. Smattex manufactures the products to order using 3D printing and can also supply replacement covers with new lettering for subsequent replacement if required.
Thread module with four buttons from Insta
The inside is also “Made in Germany”. The Push Button Module from Insta serves as the basis. The subsidiary of the German electrical manufacturers Jung and Gira developed the radio insert especially for Matter and also offers it as an OEM product to companies other than the two shareholders. The possible range of functions depends on the Matter system used. Google Home does not yet support this type of generic switch. Amazon Alexa recognizes a single press, while Apple Home also supports double or longer button presses. In other ecosystems such as SmartThings or Home Assistant, the options for multiple assignments are even greater.
