Technical specifications for the BroadLink Smart Button identify a proprietary 2.4GHz "FastCon" protocol, which requires a BroadLink S3 Hub for operation. The hardware features a 4-button array, each supporting single, double, and long-press triggers. Power is supplied by a CR2450 battery, which is utilized for low-energy RF transmissions. Material analysis indicates a tactile click mechanism rated for 100,000 cycles.
Operational data demonstrates a 1-3 second latency in cloud-reliant routines. Performance metrics indicate that signal stability is significantly reduced beyond 15 feet from the proprietary gateway. The device does not support native Zigbee or Z-Wave interoperability, locking it into the BroadLink ecosystem. Structural analysis shows a small footprint with adhesive backing and sticker-based identification for user-defined scenes.
To achieve faster response times and local execution without the proprietary hub bottleneck, the Minoston Z-Wave Remote offers a standardized alternative with zero cloud dependency.
This 4-button unit is part of wireless programmable buttons, specifically serving the BroadLink ecosystem.
