    Easy setup and worked like a charm, controlling 2 lights. After two days it disconnected and I cannot get it rediscovered. Took paint off the wall taking it off (sticky tape adhesive) so I could do a reset as the hole is on the back. I talked to a super nice guy at tech support for SmartThings who said mine was his first call on this new gen button. Waiting for his call back, I guess if he figures it out....

    Did I just get a dud?

    After a few hours of trying to get my Samsung Button to connect to my Samsung Hub, I gave up. I live about an hour from the nearest Best Buy and haven't had a chance to return the item yet. I don't know if I just got a dud, if it came with a dead battery, or if something else is going on... I removed the plastic tab to activate it and searched for it using 2 different phones and both the SmartThings app and SmartThings Classic App. It could not be found nor could it be manually setup. I tried holding in on the reset button with a paperclip more than a dozen times, again with both phones, both apps on both phones, and automatic and manual. Nothing worked. I don't know if want to exchange it for another one and see if it pairs better or just be done with it and try a different brand. Having to travel an hour there and an hour back for an item that does not work is not my idea of a fun evening!

    Drops connection to base station

    When the button is connected to the base station it works great for triggering multi-stepped rules or scenes. However, this button disconnects frequently from the new 3rd generation base station forcing me to remove and re-add the device on a regular basis.

    Not worth a purchase. Slow response time. Would have liked tactical feedback when pressed but has none. Your left wondering if you pressed button or not. Cannot recommend.

    It's great when it works. The issue is that it works perhaps 50% of the time for me. I have it paired with a SmartThings hub and a SmartThings outlet to (attempt) to control some string lights.

    it is frequently disconnected from the system and you have to be resetting it by removing and putting the battery, at the moment you need it most you can not count on the functions of the device

    Didn’t work. It was synced, had different commands assigned, but it would not speak to the hub when pressed. Just use the app for commands or sync with Alexa.
