Is there any way to create a software-only switch/button?

I’m looking for a component that has no corresponding physical device, but which appears on the UI and can be used to trigger automation events. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks, that’s useful. Is there also a button that works as a one-time trigger, instead of an on/off switch?

Scripts have a built-in activate in the UI.

You could also use an input_boolean and have your action set it to “off” when it completes.
