I’ve been looking around trying to RTFM but one thing that I’m not seeing, or at least that I’m missing trying to search for is a standalone wifi switch that can sit on a desk or somewhere that is wifi enabled that DOES NOT have to be hard wired to an existing switch in a room … IE I want a hardware switch or button sitting on a desk or a shelf or something that my wife or kids can press to activate or shut off (on/off functionality as a trigger for an automation in HA) a lighting scene that I’ve created in HA without having to use an app or a tablet or something but I’m coming up short trying to find anything that isn’t hardwired.
Hi David,
You looking battery supplied button with WiFi communication?
1, 2, 3 buttons ?
Given the high power draw of wifi you will not find any battery operated wifi switches. There are a lot of Zigbee options though.
Zigbee or Zwave should cover this for you. You will not be happy with a WiFi device for this…
