Selectable lens button for a smart home device and method therefor

摘要

According to one embodiment, a smart home device includes a front casing that is coupleable with a back plate to define a housing having an interior region within which one or more components of the smart home device are contained. The smart home device also includes an occupancy sensor that is disposed within the interior region of the smart home device and a button cap component that is positioned axially in front of the occupancy sensor. The button cap component is pressable by a user to actuate a switch that is disposed axially behind the button cap component. The smart home device further includes a lighting component that is positioned axially behind the button cap component. The lighting component is configured to disperse light circumferentially around the button cap component so as to provide a visual halo effect around the button cap component.
