Aeotec Button Compatibility

I can’t seem to find it on the compatibility list, but does anybody know if the Aeotec Button (GP-AEOBTNUS) is Hubitat compatible? It says it’s SmartThings compatible and it’s Zigbee. Just wondering if anybody has used one?

I think this is just the rebranded version of the SmartThings Button, model IM6001-BT, after Aeotec took over distribution. It should work with that driver. I haven't heard reports one way or the other, but it's been the only model available new for a few years now, so I imagine something would have come up if it wasn't (I only have the original model)...

Thanks. How big physically is the button?

Never measured myself, but I'd trust the specs here:

Yes, they are compatible. I have a couple of these buttons, they work very well using the "Samsung Zigbee Button" driver that the hub found during installation.

40.5 mm square and 15 mm thick.

This button works fine but I find it eats batteries much too fast for my liking.

I have switched to these, which you can get from Minoston or other brands. They do more and the batteries last a lot longer.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered one on Amazon

I have one in my upstairs office and the battery lasted over 2 years. But will admit I have a ton of mains powered zigbee repeaters so maybe that helped.

Interesting, that is very different than my experience... I got more like 6 months.
