Monostable Switch / Button

Hi there,

what do guys think about having a simple button in the GUI, like @roidayan requested almost a year ago.
As already mentioned in the other thread, scenes and scripts can actually do that (and even more). What I have in mind is a rather lightweight and clear approach.

Having just a single button, which is able to call a service or fire an event. That’s it.

Service:
Being able to trigger it by calling switch.toggle oder switch.tun_on (turn_off doesn’t make sense as it’s turned of when ever it is not pushed) would be straight forward and easy for anybody to wrap their minds around.

UI:
The possibility to name the button itself with templates (which is named “Activate” for scenes) would be a plus.

What you think?
