    Physical button: 1 action, no logic

    Software button: infinite actions, complete logic over everything in HA

    It’s like ‘why should I use HA, the light switch is right there’ yes technically but you’re missing the whole point. Why should you go on trips and see the sights of other places, Google Street View is right there.

    E: real world example, though my network reaches far beyond my driveway so no button required:
