International battery-powered variant: No battery included. Comes with battery-style case, but will need to source own battery with connector type PH 2.0, and dimensions cannot exceed 80mm x 30mm x 8mm

The BTN-1 Macro Deck gives you four hot-swappable mechanical brown switches, white keycaps, and LEDs in front of each button for status feedback. Power it with USB-C or an optional battery, and connect over Wi-Fi to integrate with Home Assistant, Homey, or your other smart home systems. (Actively working on Zigbee firmware, but not fully ready for release. Also, Thread/Matter capable, but needs firmware development.)

Use it for macros, media controls, stream deck commands, smart home automations, or whatever custom IoT project you're working on. Even better, use it with our Home Assistant blueprint to easily set up each of the four buttons' single, double, and triple clicks, as well as hold actions.
