I “found” the fingerbot today, automation for everything 😄  
Press any key! But where is the Any key?

Well, not in the Netherlands it seems, only to France, Germany, Italy and UK.

There also is Microbot Push: [https://microbot.is/push/](https://microbot.is/push/)

I have a set of these, they work through Bluetooth which is not so handy. But I also have a “switch” from the same company that is linked to a webhook I can access through Homey. I put one on my intercom to be able to open it, but it doesn’t work 100% of the times which is annoying (sometimes the finger doesn’t push in the button far enough). Which reminds me, I need to charge the thing.

I have backed them and have the bridge included, with the bridge there are more possibilities. For the rest its more a fun thing than that I see myself using it seriously.

Found a [huifkar](http://www.huifkarverzendservice.nl/) from Germany to NL for delivery.

Something that has every right to exist!

The build quality of this one is better though:

Unfortunately, you cannot buy them anywhere in Europe…

I don’t know. I just don’t see a real use case. And the WAF seems to me to be rather low on the pieced together parts.

There is no push-button on the Fingerbot.  
So, if you want to push the button, well, you can’t.  
You can only push the button using your phone. It’s rather stupid not being able anymore to push the button when you are in front of it…

Now they launched fingerbot plus for crowdfunding. Sexier than switchbot. I emailed switchbot team for adding such feature to their bot.

I have this fingerbot+ (with physical button on it) and the bridge that comes with it to communicate with the bots. I use them to turn on my Jura coffee machine and to control my Somfy sunscreen (just stuck 2 on the Somfy remote).

Now with the new Homey pro 2023 I am checking to see if it got all my devices supported. It does not seem to have anything for the Adaprox Fingerbot or am I wrong? Would be nice if I could drop the bridge as well but it would be enough if it was just supported.

The fingerbot bridge can be added as Tuya device, and after that the fingerbot as well.

Use the Tuya app in Homey.

Hi,

have you found any finger bot that works directly with Homey and can be controlled? I recently got a tuya zigbee one that I could integrate but could not control in anyway…

TIA

Any updates? Do the zigbee ones work as generic device?

I have switchbot bots integrated into homey (via hub) and this works ok (sometimes a very short lag). Fingerbots I have integrated into home assistant, they work even better, it was not possible with homey…
