Maybe for a bottle water but its gone far i think :wink:

In this new or future version, is it possible to give the device an on/off capability without a button? What I’m looking for is a device that acts like a button when clicked in the mobile app, and only a flow can turn it on or off (and thus undim/dim the tile color). Preferably it even doesn’t hav…
