Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a physical remote control that can be used with HomeAssistant? I’m hoping to find a multi-button zigbee or wifi device that HA can recognize and allow me to configure buttons to HA automations.

I’m already using a couple single button devices that can be configured to perform different actions on single press, double press, and long press, but would love a single device with multiple buttons for some locations.

    That’s correct, they are pretty cheap too. It’s a shame that they don’t sell anymore the rotary volume control that I use as dimmer

      They’re pretty cheap for something you’re not ordering from China too. If not reliable they’re from Ikea, so good customer service and they’ll replace them if something breaks (had it happen with Somrig).

      As for a rotary I’ve ordered and I’m going to try this one.

      ESPHome is a really good thing to look into if you’re a bit more advanced user, and CYD is a steal for what it is (even with the resistive touch screen it has).

        I’ve bought a couple of the same rotary button today! 😄 About Esp home, I’ve abandoned building my own staff, there’s not time for everything.

          Some of the stuff doesn’t need that much building, and some of it makes your life better (and there’s no alternative available in the market), that it makes it worthwhile.
