Onvis Smart Button – 5-Key Scene Controller for Apple HomeKit & Thread (iOS 17.4+)

Overview

Meet the Onvis Smart Button, a compact controller crafted to simplify how you interact with your smart home. Its clean silhouette and satisfying tactile click make it a pleasure to use, whether you mount it on a wall, place it on a desk, or stick it to a fridge with the included options. With five dedicated keys, you can group common actions into a single tap, helping you build cleaner automations without digging through apps. Designed to work with Apple HomeKit over Thread, it aims for fast, reliable responses that feel like second nature in daily routines.

Connectivity that fits your setup

Thread provides a fast, low-latency backbone for compatible devices, while Bluetooth keeps you covered for items without Thread support. The button handles multiple press types to unlock flexible control without complexity. You can connect quickly, test automations, and adjust as your smart home evolves—all without relying on a constant cloud connection.

• Thread-enabled for reliable, local control; Bluetooth fallback for non-Thread devices.
• Five keys, each supporting single, double, and long press to trigger diverse actions.
• Up to 15 distinct scenes or actions can be configured per device.

Five keys, many possibilities

Every key is a gateway to an automation. Create scenes like lighting a room, powering devices, or toggling a mood preset. The Onvis App or Apple Home App makes setup straightforward, so your preferred workflows come to life with minimal steps.

• Easy setup in Onvis App or Home App; no cloud required for core control.
• End to end encryption when used with Apple HomeKit for enhanced privacy on iOS devices.

Placement, simplicity, and logs

The design is wireless and compact, so you can place it where it feels most convenient. Attach to a wall with double-sided tape, or use the included magnetic strips to attach to a fridge or metal surface. A handy command log in the Onvis Home App helps you review what actions were sent and when, supporting quick troubleshooting and refinement of setups.

Hub and privacy notes

For Thread control, you will need a Thread-enabled Apple Home hub such as Apple TV 4K 2nd Gen or 3rd Gen, or a HomePod. The solution emphasizes local control and privacy; data is stored locally on iOS devices with end-to-end encryption when used with HomeKit, and there is no cloud dependency for core operations.
