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.
I’ve used this remote and it works well but it is zwave. In general, you want battery powered devices to be either zwave or zigbee since they use less power. If you want to connect the smart plugs to an existing switch you can use a Shelly relay or a smart switch
