I’d like to add a smart button to my HA setup. I don’t have zigbee signal nearby, so I’m wondering what the best way to do this would be.
I’m using a Skyconnect dongle. There’s wifi nearby. I want to control a smart switch nearby, which would also have zigbee but that also wouldn’t reach the distance I need.
Is Matter a solution here? With a hub connected to wifi that bridges to the button?
Any suggestions on hardware?
Or any other suggestions?
In that case, I would recommend a shelly button -> https://www.shelly.com/en/products/shop/shelly-button-1-white as its WiFi and the Shelly firmware has all the things you need, I have a few Shelly things and they are rock solid
Ooh, that looks like what I need! Looks like it’s rechargeable and has a decent battery life, works on wifi, and works with home assistant. Looks perfect, thanks!
