What WB1 does

Two commands per button

Single click and double click can each run a different command, so one WB1 does two jobs.

Start or stop an Activity

Turn one Activity on or off, or switch off every Activity at once.

Run a Macro

If the Activity is off, WB1 starts it first, then runs the Macro. If it is already on, WB1 only sends the Macro.

Send a device command

Trigger a specific command on a single device, such as volume or input.

Use WB1 with your smart home

The X2 Hub can join Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings as a Matter device. Each WB1 click can then start an automation you built in that platform: lights, scenes, locks and more.

  1. In the SofaBaton app, open the X2 Hub’s Matter QR code.
  2. In your smart home app, scan the code to add the X2 Hub. Your platform needs its own hub first, for example an Apple TV 4K for Apple Home.
  3. In that platform, create an automation. The X2 Hub appears with 8 buttons you can use as triggers.
  4. In the SofaBaton app, go to Me, then Settings, then Paired Wireless Buttons, then Customize Commands, and assign a Matter command (buttons 1 to 8) to the WB1 single or double click.

Questions

Does WB1 work without an X2 Hub?

No. WB1 is made for the X2 Hub. It sends your click to the Hub, and the Hub runs the command.

How many WB1 buttons can I add?

One X2 Hub supports up to 8 WB1 buttons.

Can I use WB1 with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa or SmartThings?

Yes, through the X2 Hub as a Matter device. You build the automation in that platform, and the platform needs its own hub, such as an Apple TV 4K for Apple Home.

What happens if I pair WB1 with a different Hub?

Pairing a WB1 to a new Hub erases its previous connection and settings.

How long does the battery last?

About 1 year on one CR2450. WB1 flashes red 5 times when you press it and the battery is low.
