       Lazyweb: I have local servers that have HTTP(s) endpoints for doing Special Events. What's the easiest way to get a physical button that I can stick some batteries into, and it'll trigger that HTTP call (over the wifi) when I push the button?

       like I know I could build this with an arduino/rp2040 but is there some existing thing I can reuse for this? like, including the battery and the button housing?

       @foone easiest? Wireless nes style controller. It's lots of buttons, but you could ignore most of them, or have them all so the same action. Or those tiny wireless keyboards the size of a wallet

       @foone it’s not wifi, but those cheap Bluetooth camera buttons just send volume up/down messages, you could presumably catch that in some custom software and do whatever. You’d even get 2 buttons

       @foone there's a bit of setup for the first device, but aqara buttons + home assistant are a good flexible combination.  other button options I havent tried... mystrom wifi buttons, and adafruit has a button option too.

       @foone shelly used to sell a WiFi Button (https://kb.shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/shelly-button-1). Battery powered and can send http requests on click, long click, double click and long double click. It seems that's now discontinued. They were always a bit slow (0.5-1s) to send those requests with all the WiFi/IP connection setup required each time you wake it up, but otherwise work fine.
