Besides reading and saving physical iButton keys, you can emulate them with your Flipper Zero. On this page, you’ll find instructions on how to create a virtual version of an iButton key and emulate it using your Flipper Zero.
To create a virtual iButton key, do the following:
Go to Main Menu -> iButton -> Add manually.
Select the iButton protocol from the list:
- Dallas DS1990
- Dallas DS1992
- Dallas DS1996
- Dallas DS1971
- Dallas (non-specific) — any iButton device using the Dallas protocol
- Cyfral
- Metakom
Enter the UID of the original key in the hex format.

Press Save, then enter a new name of the key and press Save again.
After adding a new virtual iButton key, you can emulate it. Manually added Dallas keys can be written to a blank or a key of the same type.
You can edit the UID of the saved key by doing the following:
Go to Main Menu -> iButton -> Saved.
Select the key you want to edit and select Edit.
Enter the desired value in hex.
