Push Button
Purchase recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The push button is a versatile device that “simulates” a traditional wall switch, without needing to connect it to power. You can place it anywhere on the wall and program it to trigger actions like toggling lights or executing more complex scenes through Home Assistant automations. It’s an excellent solution for initiating complex scenarios at the press of a button.
One of the best features is its ability to act as a “secondary” switch for smart lights already controlled by a hard-wired smart switch, allowing you to control the same light from multiple locations. Another handy aspect is that it’s a magnetic remote control, so you can easily remove it from the wall and use it like a handheld remote. With options ranging from one to four buttons, the push button is highly customizable. Despite running on a single CR2032 coin battery, it boasts great battery life and has proven extremely reliable in daily use.
