Frequently asked questions

• Does the Shelly BLU Button Tough 1 ZB need a hub?

  Yes. As a Zigbee device, the button needs a Zigbee hub or network (for example Home Assistant, SmartThings, or a Shelly Gen3/Gen4 device as a bridge) to relay its commands into scenes.
• How many actions can be assigned to this button?

  The button has a single physical key, but the multi-click function recognises up to four distinct actions: short, double, triple and long press.
• What battery does it use and how long does it last?

  It uses a 3V CR2032 battery with up to 2 years of life under typical use, without needing a mains connection.
• Can it be mounted in a bathroom or outdoors?

  Yes. The housing is resistant to shock, dust and splashes and works from -20 to 60°C, so it suits a bathroom, terrace or garage. The manufacturer does not publish an exact IP code.
• What is the operating range?

  The range is up to 10 m indoors and up to 30 m in open space, depending on walls and interference.
• Which ecosystems is it compatible with?

  It communicates over Zigbee and can integrate with Home Assistant, SmartThings and the eWeLink ecosystem. CasaSmart will help you choose the right hub and configure scenes in Chisinau.
