Amazon has $20 Internet buttons: https://www.amazon.com/AWS-IoT-Button-Limited-Programmable/dp/B01C7WE5WM/ref=pd_bxgy_107_2

Compared to things like Aeon remotes, and Knocki, and other fancy buttons that don’t work directly with SmartThings, this one seems like a deal. But It’s Web-enabled, not Z-Wave or Zigbee. So how would one configure it to turn on and off a light, for example?

Here’s the problem I want to solve: I want a remote light switch for a Z-Wave light in a child’s room. I have a bunch of lights on SmartThings and mostly use Amazon Alexa to control them. But for this particular light, I don’t want to put an Alexa device in the room. I just want a remote button.

I don’t have the chops to code this myself. If there was a guide to setting this up, I’d give it a stab. Or maybe somebody knows a quick way to hack this into an Alexa/Smartthings house?

Thanks!
