I have been using momentary off buttons for Alexa integration so I can have a button that is always on and that I can tell Alexa to turn off. Like a reverse garage door opener. So I can say “Turn everything downstairs off” instead of saying “turn everything downstairs off on.”
I know I can just have a normal virtual switch automation that turns itself back on as part of the automation, but just asking since the momentary buttons were nice but are custom DTHs.
