Anyone use a "button"? Eve has one as well as a few others. The idea is it is a physical button you use to execute shortcuts/scenes.

I would like one for when I get a call (working from home) and need to turn my "on air" lights red so the family knows not to run wild. Right now I'm using an NFC tag and it works great except when I use my iPhone to take the call rather than my computer.

I just don't want to pay $50 for a button. Even when Eve updates theirs to be Thread, I can't imagine it being cheaper.

I did splurge and buy 5 more of the Nanoleaf Essentials though.
