Xiaomi Wireless Button

As indicated in the table on top of this page there are 3 versions of the button. For the round shaped button the available events are single, double, hold, long_click_press and long_click_release. Aqara branded buttons are square shaped. Model WXKG11LM only supports single, double, long_click_pressand hold events. WXKG12LM supports single, double, long_click_press and shake events. For the Aqara versions the delay between two clicks to generate a double click must be larger than with the round button. Clicking too quickly generates a single click event.
