Shelly BLU RC Button 4

Short device name: SBBT-004CUS

Functional description

The device transmits BLE advertising packets when a button is pressed (1 or more times) or held depressed. Combinations of buttons are also possible.

If a button is held pressed for longer than 10 seconds, the device enters pairing mode and the LED flashes in blue.

Be aware that for functions like controlling blinds or dimming a light, one should avoid holding a button longer and entering pairing mode, or a battery life will be shortened.
