Hi. I’m new to HA, and am looking for physical button recommendations. I got tasmota smart plugs, and those just needed HA’s mqtt add-on and tasmota integration. They work like a charm. Now I want to get a physical button (wired or battery) that I can use to toggle the smart switches. I also would like to do this in the most private way possible. I noticed that the smart plugs only connect to npt.org, which is perfect. Is there a similar option for buttons? I dont have ZigBee or Zwave products or anything, but that is an option.
I found this button and it uses ZigBee. Is this the best option.
Nice, looks really interesting but can we build it ourselves? I can’t find documentation nor printing files on the website and github
You can. The STL files for the case and the PCB layout are available on GitHub: https://github.com/nplan/HomeButtons There even is a section on soldering and building it yourself on the documentation.
Thanks
