In the middle of WGT Black Week, today it’s not about central control, but about direct action – at the touch of a button. And that’s exactly what Fibaro The Button is made for.
A small, round, elegant gadget that is much more than just a switch: a minimalist statement.

And yes – of course it comes in black.

What is The Button?

The Button from Fibaro is a Z-Wave Plus-capable, compact smart home switch from Fibaro. It allows you to trigger scenes, control devices or start certain actions in your smart home at the touch of a button – without the need for an app, voice assistant or smartphone.

Think of it like this:

• Press 1x → Light on in the hallway
• Press 2x → Start TV evening
• Press 3x → All off and alarm armed
• Long press → Panic mode or call for help

And the best thing is: you decide what it does.

Shape & Color

The design is deliberately simple: round, clear, analog – almost like an emergency stop switch from a dystopian future. The black version blends seamlessly into minimalist, industrial or gothic-inspired living spaces.

It is available in various colors, but black is the most beautiful choice.

Possible uses in everyday life – smart minimalism at the touch of a finger

What makes the Fibaro Button so special is not only its simplicity, but also its enormous flexibility. Each button can be assigned up to 6 actions:
1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x press + hold – and each action can control a scene, a device or a combination of both.

Here are some concrete examples of how you can use The Button to good effect:

At the bedside: night mode & safety features

• Press 1x → Gently dim the bedroom light
• Press 2x → Turn off all lights in the house, lock doors
• Press and hold → Arm alarm or lower shutters

→ Ideal for a convenient end to the day without an app

In the children’s room: child-safe, intuitive, can be controlled offline

• Press 1x → Activate night light or start music
• Press 2x → Parent light signal in the living room (“I’m awake”)
• Press 3x → Raise blinds

→ Robust, app-free, childproof

As an emergency or SOS button for elderly relatives

• Press and hold → Send push notification, SMS or e-mail
• Press 2x → Play voice message via loudspeaker (“Help needed”)

→ Supports more safety in everyday life, with smart logic

In the workshop or garage: hands-on control

• Press 1x → Work light on
• Press 2x → Start extraction or heating
• Press 3 times → “Productive mode” scene (music, light, temperature)

→ Also ideal with gloves, no touch required

In the living room: scene start instead of app search

• Press 1x → “TV mode” (light down, AV on)
• Press 2x → “Chill scene” (Hue on dark red, ambient sound)
• Press 3x → “Party mode” (light animation + music system)

→ Direct, intuitive, aesthetic

Home automation at the door / in the hallway

• Press 1x → All off when exiting
• Press 2x → “I’m back” scene
• Press and hold → Activate security mode

→ Simple control at the entrance

Several buttons – e.g. in black, white, red – can be used to separate rooms, functions or users. Simple mechanics, maximum flexibility.

Our conclusion: small gesture, big impact

Fibaro The Button proves that smart homes don’t have to be complicated. It is unobtrusive, reliable, can be used individually – and in its black version is a worthy member of my personal WGT Black Week.

More black. Fewer words. One click is enough.
