> why is it so hard to get a simple IoT button that runs local Wifi (really hoping for no base station) only and is battery chargable?
Battery life is atrocious and latency from deep sleep will be very bad. I’ve got Zigbee buttons from ikea that run on nimh batteries for a couple years now and only used like half of the charge. The hub is an usb dongle attached to the home assistant server, no issues.
