I am looking for a multi button device which ideally could be wall mounted. The idea would be to initiate routines or perhaps toggle a device off/on. Does such a thing exist? ---

How about this one? > [@\[OBSOLETE\] Remotec ZRC-90 Scene Master - Button Device Supporting 24 Unique Button Commands (see post 177 for 2021 app version)](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-remotec-zrc-90-scene-master-button-device-supporting-24-unique-button-commands/40309): > > Remotec ZRC-90 Scene Master - Button Device Supporting 24 Unique Button Commands This is a very small button device that has a contemporary look and is wall mountable. With the included mounting bracket you can pull it off of the wall and use it like a remote. Button Commands: Buttons on this device support 3 modes. Pressed, held, and double pressed. When using the device in SmartApps such as Rule Machine, you would use the functionality of button 1 - 8 like normal. Configure triggers on Button 1 pushed, and Button 1 held, etc. But then you can also configure buttons 9 - 16 in Rule Machine as follows: Physical Button Double Pressed & Resulting Button Number 1 = 9 2 = 10 3 = 11 4 = 12 5 = 13 6 = 14 7 = 15 8 = 16 Preferences: Multiple “held” events on botton… ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/f/4/f416c1f1b002bd96095b64df7ee546567a0a4942.png) ---

@aruffell already gave you what is probably the best suggestion, but there are a number of other alternatives as well. See the button and remotes FAQ. This includes both handheld and wallmount models. 🕶 _This is a clickable link_ > [@FAQ: Full list of buttons and remotes confirmed to work with SmartThings \[Not all devices listed work with the 2020 Platform\]](https://community.smartthings.com/t/faq-full-list-of-buttons-and-remotes-supported-by-smartthings-at-this-time/9729): > > I’d like to know which buttons and remotes are currently supported or might be supported in the future. 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? ---

Also, many people like to use a wallmount tablet or Wi-Fi phone for this, usually using the very popular SmartTiles dashboard app. Costs a bit more, but gives you a lot more functionality. You can also customize tile size and color. www.smarttiles.click ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/2/f/2fac8cc2f3b8b5ea192b29ffe1b5b887909dd325.jpeg) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/9/b/9bbcaa6a737cffd2f29f75ed93c0c017040993e9.JPG) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/0/e/0e9dfa98974a55095f5bddfc9cc91901a2e2539f.JPG) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/a/7/a7412c48c12a1eba0cd7569e6b2ee62d287f8f28.jpeg) There’s even a thread in the forum just for discussion of various customization and wallmount options: > [@Dashboard Theming (Custom CSS) and Mounting Hardware Ideas](https://community.smartthings.com/t/smarttiles-dashboard-theming-custom-css-and-mounting-hardware-ideas/11222): > > Someone else mentioned the idea and I decided to create it. Thanks to @625alex we have a very sweet dashboard. However I want to see others ideas on themes or CSS code they implemented for their setup. Maybe even mounting ideas. So that’s another possibility to consider. 🕶 ---

Thank you to all those who posted suggestions. That’s what I really enjoy about the community, an opportunity to learn from others and their experiences. Going to try Remotec ZRC-90 Scene Master and hope it has high WAF (wife acceptance factor). 🙂 ---

After including and using the devlicetype @aruffell suggested, is there a consensus about smart apps to use with this device? ---

> [@n8xja](#): > > After including and using the devlicetype @aruffell suggested, is there a consensus about smart apps to use with this device? It works well with core. A lot of the other smartapps can’t handle the 24 button codes. 🕶 > [@FAQ: What is WebCoRE? (And what was CoRE?)](https://community.smartthings.com/t/faq-what-is-core/59981): > > CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.” Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you. For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog. dogblush [image] The original version of CoRE Has now been replaced by a new version, WebCoRE, which moves the data entry to a web interface.
