The button itself is satisfying — large, clicky, with color-changing feedback. Collectors item for smart home enthusiasts.
Openness & Hackability
Bluetooth connection to Echo devices. Can trigger Alexa Routines with a single press. Home Assistant integration possible via Alexa integration. Cannot reflash firmware but the BLE protocol has been partially reverse-engineered.
