Onvis 5-Button Scene Controller (Homekit over Thread)
This Onvis 5-button controller is how I’m handling quick local control—arming and disarming without pulling out my phone. I mapped different security states to less-obvious button actions (like double taps) and used press-and-hold to disarm, while still keeping single-press actions available for normal room stuff.
Pros
- +Fast local arming/disarming without opening the Home app
- +Multiple button actions (tap/double tap/hold) give you flexibility
- +Thread-based control feels responsive in a good Thread network
Cons
- -No built-in PIN/password protection for disarm
- -Easy to mis-trigger if you don’t choose mappings carefully
