Not sure if this is the right place to post this but what I’d like to add is some kind of button to my Smart Home so that if I press it certain lights will turn on. I can use the Rule Machine but I don’t know what or if there is some hardware button that is supported.

TIA for any ideas.

Ah, nevermind, I found the Aeon Labs one in the ST list (now just need to be sure it will work with the Rule Machine – pricey, though, but whatever…)

There are several possible devices that will work as button controllers.

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?

Don’t know if the deal is still alive but see it below for $15  
[http://slickdeals.net/f/8987791-aeotec-z-wave-minimote-15-ac-free-shipping](http://slickdeals.net/f/8987791-aeotec-z-wave-minimote-15-ac-free-shipping)

It regularly goes on sale for this price. Just keep an eye out.

Also… I use this with the Smart Lighting App to do a lot of things, including turning my bedroom lights on and off and setting them to a certain dim level.
