Tactile Switch

Hi team!

I have a device (non-smart) that uses a tactile switch (tiny type) to trigger on and off. Any recommendation on making it smart? Just wondering what my options are to add a smart switch.

Similar to this:

So is that designed to be pushed by a human, or by a machine (eg something like a door opening)?

Hello, yes it’s designed to be pushed by a human finger.

I would use a optocoupler soldered across those terminals connected to an esp device running esphome.

Awesome, I never thought of that, I’m sure optocoupler would work, thanks so much for the idea!

Hopefully you should be able to use the tactile switch and the esp as alternatives, is they should both function :slight_smile:
