Manually Create Button Entities

The new addition of Buttons is great. But as stated in the documentation, you cannot manually create buttons. I think being able to add buttons as a “helper” would be valuable.

My use case:
I would love to create buttons and assign them to certain events from zigbee/zwave buttons (1 click/2 click/hold/etc.). Then I could use them in automations which would be simpler to read/implement.

The feature is currently implemented

What version was this implemented in? Looks like the PR is still open.

Looks like it might be 2022.2. I would check the DEV.
