A new device claiming to be the world's simplest internet user interface is a button that can be programmed to do just about anything. Configured for almost any use, bttn is a large button that connects to the internet and carries out customizable digital tasks.
The bttn's configuration wizard can be accessed through a web browser once the device is connected to wifi or 3G. The internet user interface can then interact with Facebook, Twitter, email, RSS, SMS, SmartThings, and IFTTT (If This Than That) to name a few. When the button is pressed, it sends a message to the server, which reacts by performing a particular task. The bttn can also light up using LED colored bulbs,giving feedback to the user.
