Physical button/panel with status light for (Heimdall) Surveillance state?

Questions & Help
1

I’ve started using Homey Pro with Heimdall to bring together all my sensors and devices (Unifi Protect cameras, Aqara sensors, smart lock) — it’s awesome!

Now, I’m looking for a physical (toggle) button or (touch) panel that I can place near the main door. This device should be able to:

● Toggle between (Heimdall) Surveillance states: Armed / Partially Armed / Disarmed

● Display the current Surveillance state using a status light:
For example: Red (Armed), Orange (Partially Armed), Green (Disarmed)

This would allow my kids and other family members to easily enable or disable surveillance when leaving or entering the house.

Some smart home brands offer buttons, but none seem to include a status light.

Is there any off-the-shelf product that supports this functionality?

Would button+ work for you?
:white_check_mark: physical buttons
:white_check_mark: status lights

PS: a toggle button for disarm does make your alarm quite useles…

I use the Ring Keypad for that. Works great.

Button+ looks promising!
You have a point. It’s probably better to get a keypad. Do you have any recommendations?

This one?

As far as I understand, it requires Alarm Base Station, right?

Yes, that is the one and no, I only use this device. See forum topic Ring Security - Extend Heimdall with Ring Security products for more information.

Don’t use it myself.
