Check a connected button

Open the connected button

1. Open the correct home, then open Home or Devices.
2. Select the connected button from the device list.
3. If the button opens in its stage view, use More to show the full device page.

Read the button’s last press

On the device page, Button shows Last press as a read-only reading. It reports the most recent valid button event that the device has sent.

• If the device has not reported a valid press yet, Last press shows no valid reading.
• The reading can include the button number, the gesture, and the time of the press when the device reported them.
• This reading does not run a routine and does not press the physical button.

View details and connection facts

1. Scroll to Details.
2. Read the connection and identity information shown there, such as the device id, serial, firmware, provider id, and last state when those values are available.
3. If the page shows the button section, use it only to review the device’s reported press information and button setup.

What you should see afterwards

• The button’s current page title stays on the device you opened.
• Last press shows the latest reported press, or no valid reading if nothing has been reported yet.
• Any available details for the connected button appear on the same page without adding a new action button.

When it does not respond

If Last press does not update, check that the device is powered and connected. Unknown means no valid reading, not Off or zero.

If the device is unreachable, open its connection facts on the page and check the displayed connection information. Do not keep pressing again to diagnose a failed read.

If the page still does not show the expected press information, use the device name, room, and observed problem when you ask for help.
