I get a lot done with physical buttons and time / condition automations but sometimes it's nice to just do a one off action from the couch.

I've built some md5stack little speaker things and they work okay. Weird audio artifacts sometimes though.

    It can definitely come in handy. Although I went as far as leaving a wireless Zigbee button by my couch so I can dim the lights or toggle power on my AV stuff without getting up. I haven't replaced the battery yet, and it's been 2 years.
