HABI Button

A sealed, dual-sensing button for machines and products where every press counts. Sensing, feedback and electronics in one module, configured in software.

The HABI Button held between thumb and fingers
Feedback

Feel it. See it. Hear it.

The user always knows the press landed, even with gloves on, in a loud hall or without looking at the panel.

Haptic confirmation

A distinct click the user feels, even through a glove. Strength and pattern set per application.

Any colour

Full RGB light for status, warnings or your brand colour. Steady, blinking or pulsing. Drag to try:

Sound

Simple tones for loud places, or when nobody is looking at the panel.

Design-in

One part instead of four.

A typical control needs a switch, an indicator lamp, a buzzer and the wiring between them. The HABI Button replaces them with one module and one cable.

Configured in HABI Studio. Supported in HABI Docs.

Every HABI Button comes with the tools to tune it and the documentation to build it in. One login for both.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask.

The short answers. The long ones are in the docs, or one email away.

Does it work with thick gloves?

Yes. A deliberate press with a work glove registers on both channels. The force threshold can be tuned in HABI Studio for your glove and application.

What happens when the surface is wet?

A water film or a splash shows up on the capacitive channel only, so the button ignores it. It needs a real press to act.

How does it connect to our system?

It can run fully standalone or connect to a PLC or PC. The Evaluation Kit connects to your PC over USB through the interface board. Ask us about the interface for your system.

Can we change the colour, feel and sound?

Yes, all of it is set in software: light colour and behaviour, haptic strength, tones and thresholds. No hardware changes.

Can it be adapted to our panel or brand?

That is what the pilot phase is for. Tell us about your product and we'll look at fit, mounting and configuration together.

Is it an emergency stop?

No. Emergency stop functions need a certified E-stop device. The HABI Button is for the operating functions around it.

Try it yourself.

The Evaluation Kit has everything you need to test the HABI Button in your own product.
