I’ve installed flood lights on my house which are plugged into a Leviton appliance module and everything is working as it should from the ST app. I want to install a switch or smart button by the garage door that would also operate these lights. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to accomplish this?  
Is there not a smart button compatible with Smartthings?  
There are no existing switches or power source where I would like to install the smart button or switch.

Here’s a thread with several options

Ideally, I’d like to find something similar to the following: [http://www.evolvecontrols.com/devices/control-devices/glass-series](http://www.evolvecontrols.com/devices/control-devices/glass-series) Though alternatively just a simple nice-looking button which actually works unlike this Aeon according to Amazon reviews: [http://www.amazon.com/Touch-Panel-Button-Switch-AL-001/dp/B00GL6B4GG/ref=sr\_1\_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1421468320&sr=1-3&keywords=aeon+button](http://www.amazon.com/Touch-Panel-Button-Switch-AL-001/dp/B00GL6B4GG/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1421468320&sr=1-3&keywords=aeon+button) There is an Aeon Key Fob as well, but it doesn’t seem to be very durable or stylish: What else is available?

> This code stopped working with the 2018 version of the SmartThings app. The device should no longer be considered compatible. Yes, Virginia, there is a battery operated toggle switch that looks like a regular switch and can be used to change modes, run Hello Home Actions, or toggle one or more devices on and off! It does have 3 toggle “buttons” instead of just 1, which some people will see as a negative, but it’s a very nice device. It can be mounted on the wall anywhere, it does not require any wiring. Or it can just lie flat on a table. It’s zigbee, but because SmartThings supports both zigbee and zwave, that doesn’t matter, you can still use it to control any of the devices you control through SmartThings. smile You can also easily feel the separations between the three toggles, …

> I burnt a few hours and learned all the basic functions of the remote. For a few bucks on the Internet, this is a must have for remote controlling your Z-Wave devices on you ST Hub, worth it just to easily factory reset a device that is having paring issues. This item needs to get fully integrated into ST, cause as of now you can only control the Z-Wave devices on your Hub. We should be able to get this to be installed on ST’s and program the button on the App to do any on/off/dimmer/variable function. Would be great if the GE Link Bulb (Zigbee protocol) was functional with this unit via the hub. Remote should tell the hub to trigger any device on any protocol, needs some integration… Note - Much talk about distance, must be close to the Hub… This should not be true, most Z-Wave Network …
