I’m in the UK and am looking for a cost affective handheld switch/remote. This would be to trigger flows and switch things like smart plugs.

I’ve seen the SonOff RM433/RM433R2 which seems very well priced and has a few buttons. Not sure that it’s supported though.

Any other suggestions appreciated (hardware, not software/apps).

Flic buttons are great especially since you can use Homey flows to implement [many operations with a single button operation](https://community.homey.app/t/getting-a-flic-button-to-do-more-than-three-things/102648).

I’ve also got a Flic twist that can give you 35 different operations before you start using Homey flows to double/triple up on operations.

I use an (old) tablet with SmartDash.

I love my iCasa remote:  
[https://en.icasa.io/afstandsbediening](https://en.icasa.io/afstandsbediening)  
This one is Zigbee but the same remote/design is being sold under different brands and in a Z-Wave version as well.  
Always check first if the particular brand has a Homey app.  
The one linked above works 100%.
