It is not part of the hardware supported by Homey, why should it work? However, Homey clearly lacks a simple little button in Z-Wave, as there are plenty Aqara’s in Zigbee… There is just nothing simple, small and reliable in Z-Wave, it’s a shame… ---

As already mentioned, the button isn’t supported by the app yet. But I guess as a generic Zigbee device it should work, but without any extra features like _ **Double Pressed** _ and _ **Held** _. So you can try to add the button via _ **Devices → + → Homey → Zigbee** _. And contact [Aeotec](https://help.aeotec.com/support/signup) and ask for adding the button. ---

Thank you very much for the examples. Yes, it’s in Z-Wave, but these buttons cost 5x more than an Aqara button in Zigbee, discreet, white, flat and efficient (and less than 10 dollars…). Even for €20, I can’t find such a button in Z-Wave. The Philio costs almost €70 here in Switzerland. As for the Fibaro The Button, I’ve had several and they are absolutely unreliable. ---

But that is not the fault of Homey/Athom. Do you know any little, simple, cheap, reliable Z-Wave button? ---

‘Z-wave’ devices are in general more expensive than wifi/zigbee/BT/433MHz iot devices. ---

You are right, if Zigbee wasen’t unusable for several days now on Homey Pro (see for example [this topic](https://community.homey.app/t/since-last-homey-pro-update-zigbee-is-broken/62153/6), [this topic](https://community.homey.app/t/could-not-reach-device-is-it-powered-on/62143/5) or [this topic](https://community.homey.app/t/no-connection-with-any-new-device-possible/61764)…), I would buy only Zigbee devices. ---

Hi Fantross I added a aeotec button like you described. It said no app found to support device or something. When i try to turn it on in the app, i get the error message in the screenshot. It’s also not possible to find the device in the flow cards Can you help? ![Screenshot_2023-01-03-21-44-47-209_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/1/a194a5d9cf99f46b0ac80cd75fe8925ff6f20fb3.jpeg) ---

I wrote “I guess that it should work”, not that it will definitely work. And there was never any feedback from @Thomas_Lindblad if the button will work as a Generic Device. So you have to wait until the button is supported by the app. Maybe you should contact Aeotec about this as well. ---

I will ask aeotec to add the button to their app. It would be a great addition to the wallmote devices. ---

I emailed Aeotec about the zigbee Aeotec Button (GP-AEOBTNEU/US/AU) and I got a quick response. > ​The button is currently not yet supported, whether there will be an integration is currently being checked. kudos for the quick reply, but no sign of support yet. ---

Oh boy… just bought the button without checking if it is supported by the homey app, because I would have NEVER thought it wouldn‘t be supported… such a basic device! 😩 Generic Zigbee doesn‘t work either. It can be connected, but its of no use at all… shame…. ---

I find it ridiculous, for the money you pay for Homey Pro and the idea behind its purpose, that it cant support a simple smart button that uses Zigbee. Having the same issue now. This is a deal breaker and will probably return and swap for a SmartThings Hub. ---

So you create a forum account just to tell us your plans with other smart home hubs…🫣 Thanks for sharing, but why would we bother. This is just a user forum. And, you’re not very well informed by the way? To @Jojobaoil as well: In this case, the “popular switch” is not supported by Aeotec themselves, the Homey Aeotec developers, as you can find @ homey.app: > ![1000020076](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/3/43dee2bb8cf3c548dfdcd63b29483990eaf50680.jpeg) This is unrelated to Athom / Homey, and off topic . Homey is not a plug&play zigbee hub. Only lights, plugs and relays would work with the generic zigbee driver. So, to request for Homey support, just follow instructions to contact Aeotec: > ![1000020074](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/0/901822f7eb45b54d0f36297b54166f3147d4664a.jpeg) ---
