For those curious it works well and it's pretty thin. But I haven't had it long enough to judge battery life.

I prefer buttons/switches with Thread, but at this price (this is the normal/frequent sale price), less than half of the cheapest Thread buttons, it's a good value.

There are Smartthings drivers for lots of Aqara stuff that makes it work without an Aqara hub.

EDIT: I guess there's a work around to use this with third party hubs despite the description stating otherwise.
I'll check this model tonight for Hubitat compatibility. But Aqua motion sensor deal from a month or so ago also stated it required a the Aqara hub. However it did pair with my Hubitat C5 directly, no Aqara hub required. YMMV

For those curious, I've been pretty happy with Aqara devices

Door Lock
Light switch no neutral
Mini switch
Door/window sensor
Leak monitor

Everything just works and ties to HomeKit

I also bought m2 hub sine it was only 41 during holidays, though from what I can tell every device has its own QR code to tie directly your HomeKit so not sure it's 100% needed

I wish Eufy developers were this good with their Intergrations to homekit

Have a few of these using Zigbee2MQTT within Home Assistant without issue or any work arounds.

If anyone is looking for a Zigbee 4 button remote (with single/double/hold press on each button), I've been happy so far with this model from AliExpress for $12.37: MOES switch
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrJX4vy

I'd only buy one and try it out - other 4 way zigbee switches I've bought from AliExpress turned out to suck (fails to register presses half the time). So far this one hasn't missed a press yet, but it's only been 2 days of light testing. Shows up as a TS0044 in Zigbee2MQTT. Plasticky build quality but gives a ton of functionality for the price.

I bought this in December at the same price and it's working well for me with Zigbee2MQTT as well.

What platform are you using it with? I'm using Smartthings.

Home Assistant. Unsure of its compatibility with ST.

Nice price for a functional switch. I used one of these in conjunction with the Aqara Hub as an emergency button/nurse call alarm for an elderly family member, and it worked well for that purpose (by pushing a custom phone notification).

I assume those are not to be fitted inside 2 gang standard US box, correct?

Correct, and neither is the one in the original post. These types aren't directly wired to any of your home lighting or mains. They're simply a battery-powered device that when pressed, sends a signal to your hub. Your hub can then do anything you program it to with that signal - for example turning off your smart switches or bulbs.
