I know another option is an NFC tag but I don’t want to have a phone around to use it.
Use case is to have a tiny button near the trashcan to mark trash duty as “done” when someone presses in a specific time period.
Thanks!
Something like this one could fill that role https://www.amazon.com.au/The-Button-HOMEKIT-THE-BUTTON/dp/B07CZQGV42/357-9868931-8070329
Maybe a cheap aliexpress zigbee button?
According to blakadder.com it works with ZHA and Z2M:

wow that is cheap… only aud$5 on the listing at the time of this reply.
Thank you both for the replies.
The amazon I cannot get since it cannot be shipped to the US it seems.
The aliexpress seems pefect BUT it’s a Tuya product. Unfortunately I have a few Tuya products and they are incredibly frustrating so I don’t want to add more Tuya stuff to my setup.
I just realized that I might be able to use the Philips Hue button. It is truly overpriced but if I can set it up directly it might be an option.
Another option I found is the Aeotec zigbee button which is also obscenely overpriced but seems reliable.
Thanks everyone for chiming in!
A US Amazon search for “zigbee button” yields multiple options that should work.
Avoiding anything that might have Tuya roots:
I have the Sonoff and Aqara units. Prefer the Aqara. I have been very pleased with other Third Reality products, but don’t have the button.
The Tuya zigbee stuff can be hit or miss, but I would bet a simple button would perform well.
If it is one off or you need it tomorrow, go Amazon.
If you need multiple, skip the coffee tomorrow and put the $$$ toward testing the aliexpress option.
