Easy configuration for an Onvis HS2 Smart Button (5-Button)

Nemesis · January 16, 2024, 1:45pm

This blueprint helps you to configure the Onvis HS2 Smart Button.

You need (obviously) an Onvis HS2 Smart Button and a Thread Border Router to use it. After that you can configure actions for a single press, double press or long press for each of the 5 physical buttons on the switch.

Event based:

Old Version:

This version is only compatible with the HS2. If there are any other smart buttons which uses the same syntax for labelíng the buttons it might also work these buttons.

Recent updates:

04.03.2024: I rewrote the blueprint to use more basic events to increase reliability

26.01.2024: fixed a typo which resulted in button 5 double-press and long-press not responding

Hi @Nemesis , can you share some insights on how you connected the HS2 to your thread network?

I have a google nest hub2 as border router and it works fine with Onvis smart plugs and other thread/matter devices in HA.

But I could only connect the the HS2 button with bluetooth via HomeKit integration and then triggered the “set preferred thread credentials” action in the device.

But since then it disappeared from HA completely…

smetti · January 25, 2024, 10:58am

It healed itself, After one hour the button appeared back in HomeKit. For anyone wondering about the process:

Add bluetooth to HA
Connect the Button over BT via HomeKit integration
In device details under COnfiguration press “Provision Preferred Thread Credentails”
Wait. Button disappears from HomeKit integration but after some time it will be back with Thread Status “Kind”

Nemesis · January 26, 2024, 1:15pm

Hi Smetti,

thanks for your tip. Before i added it to the “home”-app on iphone, waited a bit until it is connected to the thread network, deleted it from the home-app and then added it into home-assistant but your solution works way better! Thanks!

Nemesis · March 4, 2024, 5:38pm

I rewrote the blueprint to use the more basic event-handling in home assistant to improve reliability.

I had problems that the button presses were not recognised by the automation but within home assistant. I hope this helps.

KE55ARD · March 9, 2024, 11:10am

Apologies for my ignorance, I’m relatively new to HA.

But what does this blueprint actually do?

I ended up here because I have an HS2, and I imported it into Apple Home and had it setup and working. But then had an issue (think I hit the max number of devices through one HomeKit bridge). So I redistributed my devices into HomeKit through separate bridges, and now my HS2 appears in Apple Home with only 2 buttons shown they all show in HA still and respond so I thought I’d add this blueprint to see if it would help me?

KE55ARD · March 9, 2024, 7:42pm

Ugh nothing worse than it working again and not knowing why! I see all 15 button combos again now

Anatanokami · April 9, 2024, 6:23pm

Thanks for sharing the blueprints.

When trying this one out myself for my own Onvis HS2, only the middle button worked and that one was recognized as Button 5. Turns out that device_entities returns the entities in different orders. For me, it was:

['sensor.onvis_hs2_battery', 'button.onvis_hs2_identify', 'event.onvis_hs2_stateless_programmable_switch_1', 'event.onvis_hs2_stateless_programmable_switch_2', 'event.onvis_hs2_stateless_programmable_switch_3', 'event.onvis_hs2_stateless_programmable_switch_4', 'event.onvis_hs2_stateless_programmable_switch_5', 'sensor.onvis_hs2_thread_capabilities', 'sensor.onvis_hs2_thread_status']

So I had to make a small adjustments to make sure it really only picked up the 5 events:

trigger:
  - platform: event
    id: B1
    event_type: state_changed
    event_data:
      entity_id: "{{ (device_entities(var_device_id) | select('match','event') | list)[0] }}"
  - platform: event
    id: B2
    event_type: state_changed
    event_data:
      entity_id: "{{ (device_entities(var_device_id) | select('match','event') | list)[1] }}"
  - platform: event
    id: B3
    event_type: state_changed
    event_data:
      entity_id: "{{ (device_entities(var_device_id) | select('match','event') | list)[2] }}"
  - platform: event
    id: B4
    event_type: state_changed
    event_data:
      entity_id: "{{ (device_entities(var_device_id) | select('match','event') | list)[3] }}"
  - platform: event
    id: B5
    event_type: state_changed
    event_data:
      entity_id: "{{ (device_entities(var_device_id) | select('match','event') | list)[4] }}"

With this, it works reliably for me.

Lioncat6 · April 20, 2024, 10:01pm

Same issue, seems your fix works perfectly though!

sbenton9291 · June 21, 2024, 5:06pm

Howdy All… I’ve been struggling with my Onvis button since the last core update. I used to power button presses with individual automations that let me select what button was pressed and how many times (ie single press, double, and long press), and all of a sudden the ability to select the individual buttons disappeared from HA. I just imported this template for the button automations and they work intermittently. Did something change in the HA core software that needs correcting to fix these issues?

Nemesis · June 21, 2024, 5:38pm

So you see the Button presses in the overview of the device?

sbenton9291 · June 21, 2024, 7:04pm

I do. I have the button connected to my pi with the skyconnect thread fob and can see the button presses show up almost immediately.

The button is showing connected to my thread network and no issues. I suppose I assume something changed because I did have the button set up months ago and its been working flawlessly until just recently.

sbenton9291 · June 21, 2024, 7:10pm

these are the options for the button that I’m seeing available in HA now.

EDIT… the core update that just rolled out fixed the problem.

smarthomelawyer · August 27, 2024, 11:50pm

This largely worked for me (thank you), but my buttons are mixed up.

Blueprint button 2 is button 5 on the Onvis, 3 is 4, 4 is 3, and 5 is 2. Any idea how to fix this so the blueprint and buttons align?

Nemesis · August 29, 2024, 2:36pm

i don’t know if they changed anything in their hardware. But in my system the buttons are stil ok. nothing mixed. It should be easy to work around this.

devildant · November 27, 2024, 10:19am

It’s strange, for me the order button are correct, but with automation when I configure for single press, I have to do a double press for it to trigger and conversely the double press is triggered by the single. however on the device itself the vents are good, but reverse for automation
