Hi,

I installed two HomeKit LED Lightstrips underneath my bed and they are awesome. What‘s not awesome is that the only way to control them is via my phone. I‘m trying to banish the phone from where I sleep as much as possible.
I programmed them so, that they automatically turn on at 10pm, but I‘d like a switch nearby my bed that I could just press when I want to sleep to turn ALL lights off.

Is that somehow possible? I know that HUE includes such a switch, but I dont have anything from hue and don‘t plan on investing in their ecosystem, so I wouldn’t want to install a HUE bridge, only to be able to use their switch.

I‘m looking for a battery powered wall attachable physical button, not a regular light switch.
If someone has other ideas, as to how to do this in a nice way, maybe even with a motion sensor or so, ideas are welcome ;)
 
I have an Eve button for this exact purpose I keep on my night stand. it has 3 programmable actions, single, double, and long press. I have a fibaro button as well, but it hasn't been as reliable as the eve in my experience.
 
Alright- thx- exactly what I was looking for!
Just why it has to be so expensive:(?
