Why does 46203 by GE/Jasco Configuration->Button Press that is a ping entity?

Why does 46203 by GE/Jasco Firmware: 5.54 have a Configuration->Button Press that is a ping entity? What does it do? How does it work?

I just added it and it was only a light with no dimmer. I had to heal it and reinterview it twice, now it’s a dimmer with a separate dimmer entity, a ping entity, and the normal dimmable light entity.

Thanks,
